Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. A mosque imam, after finishing the obligatory prayer, told the people to pray the regular voluntary prayer until the rest of the congregation arrives to pray over the funeral, knowing that the funeral was already in the mosque. Is this in accordance with the Sunnah? A mosque imam, after finishing the obligatory prayer, told the people to pray the regular voluntary prayer until the rest of the congregation arrives to pray over the funeral, knowing that the funeral is in the mosque. Is this in accordance with the Sunnah?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. This is for the benefit of the funeral, so that the worshippers can pray over it, and also for the benefit of those who are coming, so that they can catch the prayer over the funeral. This is a good action.
