Leaving work to attend the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to leave work to attend the funeral prayer for the midday prayer, given that the prayer over the deceased is delayed by forty-five minutes after the call to prayer?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to do that, because attending the funeral prayer is a recommended practice, while remaining at work and performing your duties is obligatory for you. So do not leave your work, neglect your work, and go to attend the funeral prayer, unless there is no one else there to perform it and take charge of it. In that case, you should seek permission from your supervisor and go to it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
