Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man says: He entered the mosque and found them praying over a funeral. Should he pray the obligatory prayer, or should he pray over the funeral first and then pray? May Allah be pleased with him?
Answer:
If he enters and they are praying over a funeral, or the funeral is about to be brought in, he should pray over the funeral first; because it is something that is missed, whereas the prayer is not missed. He prays over the funeral, then he prays the obligatory prayer that he missed. He starts with the funeral. Yes.
