Question:
The second question. Regarding the prayer over the funeral: if one person prays over more than one funeral, is he recorded a greater reward for the additional funerals? We know that the prayer over the deceased is a qirāṭ (a unit of reward). So if he prays over ten funerals, does he receive ten qirāṭs, or what? All right.
Answer:
We hope that he receives the reward according to his intention; he receives the reward according to his intention, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1 But did he intend to pray over a number of funerals all together with one prayer? Or did he intend to go and follow the funerals in the mosques and pray over them? In either case, if Allah wills, there is good in it. Yes.
