The questioner : If this ruling is the case, it applies to the funeral prayer as well. If they have prayed over a corpse, and then another group arrives before the corpse is lifted, and they say, "We will pray over it again," what is the ruling?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it; there is no harm in this, provided it does not cause hardship for the people. I mean, if the second group finishes and a third group comes, and when they finish a fourth group comes, and the deceased remains detained, then we say: No, the first prayer is sufficient, and the deceased should be carried away.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
