The funeral prayer before going to the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz says: Shaykh, we wash the bodies of the deceased, but we are unable to pray over them with the congregation in the mosque, so we pray over them before taking them to the mosque. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. You prayed over them in any place, and you have done what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has prescribed. You mentioned that you are unable to pray over them with the mosque congregation, so there is nothing wrong with you praying over them as you described, so that you may receive the reward. Pray for your brother. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
