The Ruling on Attending Every Funeral

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it obligatory for a Muslim to attend every funeral? Because in some mosques, funerals are almost daily at all times, so is he required to attend?

Answer:
No, he is not required to attend, if there are people present to handle its affairs, he is not required to attend.
