What does one do if he missed some of the takbirs in the funeral prayer?

Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what does one do if he missed some of the takbirs in the prayer over the deceased? And if he missed the entire prayer, does he pray over him alone immediately? May Allah reward you.

Answer : As for the one who missed some of the takbirs, the scholars say that he has a choice between saying the taslim with the imam and continuing the takbirs until he completes them. I do not know of any athar (report) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, but it is a reasoning. They reasoned that when the imam said the taslim, the obligation of the prayer, meaning the prayer over the deceased, was lifted, and what remained was a sunnah (recommended practice). So a person may continue in it if he wishes, or he may stop. As for if he missed the prayer entirely,
it is from the sunnah (recommended practice) to pray over him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about the woman who used to clean his mosque, meaning she removed the trash from it. They informed him that she had died, so he said, "Show me her grave." They showed him her grave, and he prayed over her (peace and blessings be upon him). This indicates that it is permissible to pray over the deceased even if he has already been prayed over. Yes.
