Praying over the deceased before the imam for those who wash them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I wash the deceased every Friday from after Fajr until nine in the morning, and then I go to pray the Friday prayer in the neighborhood mosque near my home. His question is: Is it permissible for me to pray over the deceased whom I wash before the imam?
The Shaykh:
He is the imam of a mosque.
The questioner:
He did not mention that; he said, “Then I go to pray the Friday prayer in the neighborhood mosque.”
The Shaykh:
If he is not the imam of a mosque, he stays and prays with the people, with the Muslims, over the funerals. But if he is the imam of a mosque and he needs to do so, there is no harm, unless he is able to pray in the main mosque where he is and catch the funeral prayer in his mosque; in that case, there is no harm. Yes.
