If a person dies and he has relatives in Makkah and relatives in al-Madinah, do they pray the funeral prayer for the absent one?

The questioner : If it is permissible for us to pray the funeral prayer for the absent one, and this deceased has relatives in Makkah and relatives in al-Madinah, do all of them pray the funeral prayer for the absent one?

The Shaykh : I mean, if we say it is permissible, on the condition that no one has prayed for him yet, well, we say that the prayer is performed the first time, and thereby the obligation is fulfilled, and at that point no one else prays for him.

The questioner : If they have already prayed for him, and the people of al-Madinah come on the first day, the people of al-Madinah do not pray for him on the second day.

The Shaykh : They do not pray for him after two days, yes.

The questioner : And if they did not know? Who? The people of al-Madinah.

The Shaykh : It is all one matter: whenever they learn that the people of Makkah have prayed for him, they do not repeat the prayer. But if they did not know and the news reaches them, for example, in a short time, they may pray for him.
