Praying for the Absent One Along with the Funeral Prayer for the Present One

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
One of them has a verbal question.

The questioner:
We pray two prayers: the prayer for the recitation and the prayer for the funeral.

The Shaykh:
This is a mistake. The one who prayed for the absent one alone and prayed for the present funeral, meaning he separated this from that, is in error. One prayer is sufficient, praise be to Allah, for both the absent and the present. This is his independent legal reasoning, but it is wrong.

The questioner:
Peace. Hmm?

The Shaykh:
By the gesture of the left, by the gesture of the left, I mean. Yes, we are content with this, and Allah knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
