Repeating the funeral prayer for the deceased between congregations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his question: In one of the mosques where the deceased is brought after being prepared for burial, more than one congregation prays over him. Is there a difference in reward between the one who prayed over him first and the other congregation?
Answer:
The one who did not pray over the deceased should pray over him, but the one who has already prayed with the first congregation does not repeat the prayer over him. He prays over him once, whether with the first, the second, or the third congregation. The one who did not pray over him prays, whether in the mosque, at the grave, in the cemetery, or after the burial. If he missed it and the deceased was buried and he had not prayed over him, he prays over the grave, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Yes.
