The ruling on sitting in a car while following a funeral procession
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I follow the funeral procession to the cemetery, O Shaykh, and sit in the car, whether the car is inside the cemetery fence or outside, and when the burial is completed I attend to make du'a' for the deceased, does my action count as having witnessed the funeral and received the reward and the following?
Answer:
If this is out of necessity, because you cannot stand in the sun, or you cannot stand for a long time due to old age or illness, then there is nothing wrong with it. And if you stand at the grave and make du'a' for him, you have done some of what is prescribed, and you have its reward with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
