Going to the mosque where funeral prayers are frequent

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to go to the mosque where funeral prayers are frequently held in order to seek reward, given that this mosque is within the city?

Answer:
That is good. If you go to the mosque where the funerals are brought to be prayed over, you will go out with reward. So it is a good deed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever attends a funeral until the prayer is performed over it has a qirat, and whoever attends until it is buried has two qirats. A qirat is like a great mountain, meaning its weight with Allah is like a great mountain. So this is a deed if you go to the mosque where the funerals are brought, and you pray over them. Yes.
