Cutting off a voluntary prayer to catch the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I was in the Makkah Haram and we had finished the prayer. After that, I stood up to perform the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib), and then the announcement was made for the funeral prayer. Is it permissible for me to cut off the voluntary prayer in order to catch the funeral prayer?
Answer:
No, complete the voluntary prayer quickly. If you catch any part of the funeral prayer, pray the remaining part and complete it after they have finished their taslim, in the manner of the funeral prayer. If they have already prayed it, their prayer is sufficient, praise be to Allah. As for you, do not cut off the voluntary prayer.
