He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We see many people, when the deceased is placed on the table for washing the dead, that they pray the funeral prayer over the deceased. Is the prayer over him in the place of washing valid or invalid?

One does not pray over the deceased until he is washed. The washing must be completed and he must be shrouded. It is obligatory that he be washed and shrouded, and then prayed over.
