Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh was reciting it, so it is the clearest explanation regarding the funeral prayer, the clearest explanation regarding the funeral prayer, may Allah have mercy on him.
Answer:
Whoever says that it is intensified for the state of praying for the deceased, he prays for him and supplicates for him in any place; he does not need to travel to pray for the deceased. He supplicates for him and prays for him the prayer for the absent one; praying for him is sufficient, praise be to Allah, without travel. Unless you are among his relatives who need you to attend his funeral or to handle his affairs, in which case you travel for the sake of the need. As for the general Muslim brothers, it is sufficient that they supplicate for him and seek forgiveness for him, and if he prays for him the prayer for the absent one, there is no harm, or if one of them wants to pray for him the prayer for the absent one, there is no harm.
