Question:
I hope you will clarify the stronger position in your view regarding the funeral prayer for one who has already been prayed over, especially if he holds a status such as that of scholars?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if Allah wills. It is the stronger position that there is nothing wrong with it. If a person has a standing in Islam and benefits people through Islam, then praying the prayer for the absent one for him is an addition to his good deeds and an addition to the supplication for him.
