Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to go to the mosque where funeral prayers are frequently performed in order to seek reward, knowing that this mosque is inside the city?

This is good. Attending the funeral prayer is good. Go to the mosque where the funeral is placed and pray over it; you will come out with reward. It is a good deed. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and the qirat is like a great mountain, meaning that Allah’s reward is like a great mountain.
