Making up the missed portion of the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the one who joins the funeral prayer late acts like the one who joins the obligatory prayer late, and the well-known position in the school of thought is that what he catches up with the imam is the first part of his prayer, how does he act in the funeral prayer based on this?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is easy. He says the takbir (Allahu Akbar) once and recites al-Fatihah. He says the second takbir and sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the imam says the taslim, he says the third takbir and makes du'a for the deceased. He says the fourth takbir and says the taslim. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
What he catches up with the imam is the first part of his prayer, and what he does after the imam is the last part of his prayer. Yes.
