The Ruling on Tayammum When Attending a Funeral
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Dawud and a group of others, but he did not explicitly state that he heard it. Yes.
The Shaykh:
That is complete. This is the most apparent view, and this is the default, just like the other prayers. Yes. When is the prayer? One should pray. Yes.
The questioner:
This is the stronger position.
The Shaykh:
This is the closest and most apparent view. Yes.
The questioner:
If you attend the funeral, you are required to ask about your ritual purity, so perform tayammum and give the salam.
The Shaykh:
So one performs wudu; there is no meaning to tayammum in the sense of a break. The statement supporting it is a good statement; because Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:43] and this is obligatory. Yes. But the concern is if you do not complete the prayer. If you miss it, thank Allah, it is not your obligation. Those who prayed on him, let them leave him to pray on the grave. He performs wudu and prays on the grave. Yes.

فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا
