The questioner:
To my parents, I thank the worshippers.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The worshippers must be present for the funeral prayer. For example, in the Haram, there are people who pray on the rooftops or who do not see the worshippers.
The Shaykh:
In any case, they must follow the worshippers. They must see the worshippers, or see them, or be with them if they are outside the prayer hall. As for those who are in the mosque, following them is sufficient if they hear the sound. But if they are outside the mosque, they must see them and hear the sound. Yes.
