Prioritizing the funeral prayer over a missed obligatory prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Which should be performed first, the funeral prayer or the obligatory prayer, for the one who missed the congregation? And how does the one who missed the takbirs in the funeral prayer make it up?
Answer:
Yes, he prays over the funeral so that it is not missed, then he prays the obligatory prayer he missed with the congregation. He prays it with another congregation if possible, or he prays it alone. The one who missed the obligatory prayer with the congregation and a funeral is present: he prays over it first because it is missed, then he prays the obligatory prayer. As for the takbirs, whatever the latecomer catches of the takbirs in the funeral prayer is its beginning. When the imam concludes the prayer, he completes the takbirs. He also completes the actions of the funeral prayer, then he concludes the prayer for himself. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
