Following the funeral to pray over it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Badr from Riyadh says: There are those who strive to pray the funeral prayer at every time in the funeral mosques, moving from one place to another until they catch up with them. Is this in accordance with the Sunnah?
Answer:
No, this is an exaggeration. One prays over the funeral and that is sufficient. If he prays over one funeral, that is enough for him; it is not for him to follow the mosques. It was mentioned to us that they pray over it before the imam and then go to another mosque, and so on. A fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee stating that this is not permissible. Yes.
