Cutting the two rak'ahs of the Sunnah to catch up with the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah protect you: A person began performing the two rak'ahs of the Sunnah after the obligatory prayer, and then the call for the funeral prayer was made. Is it better to cut off the two rak'ahs of the Sunnah and catch up with the funeral prayer?
Answer:
No, one does not cut off an act of worship once he has entered into it. Rather, he completes the voluntary prayer. When he says the closing salam, he stands up and joins whatever takbirs of the funeral prayer he catches. After the imam says the salam, he completes whatever remains. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
