The ruling on leaving the mosque after the adhan to pray over a funeral

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Shaykh, some people come to pray over funerals and then go to pray in another mosque after praying over them, even though the mosque where these funerals are located is closer. We know that leaving the mosque after the adhan is not permissible. What is the ruling in this case? Also, they come to pray over these funerals during a prohibited time, they pray, and then they leave. Is that permissible?

Answer:
Praying over a funeral and accompanying the funeral procession carry great reward and a large reward, so they are intending this. It is permissible to leave the mosque after the adhan if it is for this purpose, because it is for a valid purpose. However, if he has prayed over it once, he does not repeat the prayer over it a second time; rather, he is content with the first prayer. As for if funerals are present that he has not prayed over in the mosque or in the cemetery, he prays over them to obtain the reward, even if he has prayed over others. Yes.
