Praying over a funeral in specific mosques, and for the one who misses some of the takbirs

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view on taking a funeral to specific mosques to pray over it because of the large number of worshippers there? Also, in my second point, if I enter the funeral prayer with the imam after he has said some of the takbirs, what is the ruling?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible in principle for people to take funerals to a specific mosque. However, if this leads to congestion, confusion regarding the funerals, or similar issues, there is no doubt that it is better to distribute the funerals among the mosques so that there is enough space for them and people can pray over their deceased and carry them without congestion or hardship. If you miss the first takbirs of the funeral prayer, you enter the prayer with what remains, considering it the beginning of your prayer. Then, when the imam concludes the prayer with the salam, you recite the takbirs you missed in order. What you caught up with the imam is the beginning of your prayer, and what you recite afterward is the end of your prayer, after the imam. Yes.
