Question:
This sister who is asking says: What is the ruling on praying over the funeral before taking it to the mosque, where the family comes and prays over him, then they wash him and take him to the mosque?
Answer:
My brother, the prayer over him is not valid before the washing. It is not a condition for the validity of the prayer over the deceased that the washing be completed. However, praying over him before he is washed is not valid. If he is washed, there is no harm in the people of the house praying over him, and then taking him to the mosque for the Muslims to pray over him. Yes.
