The ruling on transporting a deceased person to his birthplace for the funeral prayer

Question:
May Allah keep you safe. The questioner says: Our village is one hundred and forty kilometers from Ta'if. When a person dies here, we pray over him after the midday prayer at al-'Abbas. They say he left a will to be buried in their area, so we take him and arrive there, and it is still before the time for the afternoon prayer, from the time of the prayer to half an hour. We wait until we pray the afternoon prayer, and then we all pray over him, those who were present and prayed at al-'Abbas here, or those who were in the countryside. The question is: What is the ruling on our doing this? People are in dispute; some say it is permissible, and others say it is permissible. So what is your view?

Answer:
It is permissible, if Allah wills. However, hastening to bury him, hastening to bury the deceased, since the prayer has been performed over him, and praise be to Allah, and he resides with the Muslims in any place, hastening to bury him is better without a doubt. And if he is transported to the town where he willed to be buried, and there is no harm in transporting him, and it is not delayed significantly, there is nothing wrong with that. And there is nothing wrong with repeating the prayer over him as well. Yes.
