Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My home is close to a mosque where funeral prayers are held, and I take the opportunity to attend the funeral prayers. However, since I usually cannot catch the first row in that mosque, I pray the obligatory prayer in a nearby mosque to catch the first row, and then I go to that mosque and pray over the funerals. Is my action correct?
Answer:
No, that is fine. The important thing is that you pray the obligatory prayer. You go and pray the funeral prayer; there is no harm in that. Yes.
