Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If one catches the second takbir of the funeral prayer, does he recite al-Fatihah in it?
Answer:
This question has been asked before. The funeral prayer is like any other prayer. What one catches with the imam is the beginning of his prayer, and what he missed is the end of his prayer. So the rak'ah he caught is considered the first rak'ah for him. He recites al-Fatihah because it is the first takbir for him. If he catches the second takbir, it is the first takbir for him, so he recites al-Fatihah after it.
He recites and sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the takbir that follows, and he makes du'a for the deceased in the takbir that follows that. Then he says the taslim after the fourth takbir, after the imam. If the imam says the taslim, he does not say it; rather, he says the takbir that he missed and then says the taslim. Yes.
