Is it prescribed to follow funeral processions to pray over them, such that one prays the 'Asr prayer in one mosque and the Maghrib prayer in another?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to follow funeral processions to pray over them, such that one prays the 'Asr prayer in one mosque and the Maghrib prayer in another, and so on?

Answer:
This is an unnecessary burden; this is an unnecessary burden for which Allah has not sent down any authority. If a funeral is present, one prays over it in its mosque or in any mosque where the funeral is present. However, it is not permissible to go out seeking funerals, and some people pray over a funeral before the regular imam of the mosque and then leave. This is not permissible, and a ruling has been issued by the Permanent Committee that one should not lead prayer in a mosque or pray in a mosque before its regular imam. Yes.
