Question:
Which takes precedence, the funeral prayer or the obligatory prayer for the one who missed the congregation? And how does one make up the takbirs for the one who missed them in the funeral prayer?
Answer:
Yes, he prays over the funeral, because it is a prayer that is performed and repeated. If he arrives late and they are praying over a funeral, he prays with them over it, and then he prays the obligatory prayer.

May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Honorable Shaykh,
