The Time of the Funeral Prayer and the Supplication in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother questioner says in his letter to the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb*: Is the funeral prayer performed for the deceased at any time, or only after the obligatory prayers? And what is the prescribed supplication in the funeral prayer?
Answer:
The funeral prayer is performed for the deceased as soon as he has been washed and shrouded. If the time for the obligatory prayer is near, the prayer is performed for him after the obligatory prayer. If it is not the time for an obligatory prayer, the prayer is performed for him at that time and is not delayed; rather, one hastens to prepare him and bring him to his grave as soon as possible. Yes.
