Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man had a debt and passed away, and they prayed over him, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
They prayed over him and paid off his debt.
The questioner:
He was able to, O Shaykh, but he could not manage it.
The Shaykh:
First, they prayed over him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left the first [prayer] and then gave permission for the prayer, saying: "Pray over your companion." Hmm.
