Combining the prayer for the absent person and the funeral prayer for the present body
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One who prays two prayers: the prayer for the absent person and the prayer for the funeral.
The Shaykh:
This is an error. The one who prayed for the absent person alone and then prayed for the present funeral, meaning he separated this from that, this is an error. One prayer is sufficient, praise be to Allah, for everyone, for the absent and the present. This is his independent legal reasoning, but it is a mistake. Yes, is it? By gesture, by gesture with the hand. By gesture at night, I mean. Yes. We are content with this, and Allah knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
