If I am in a voluntary prayer and the funeral prayer is established, should I leave the voluntary prayer and join the imam in the funeral prayer, or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you are in a voluntary prayer and the funeral prayer is established, is it better to break off the voluntary prayer and join the imam in the funeral prayer, or to continue performing the voluntary prayer?
The Shaykh : It is better that you continue and do not break it off, because you have begun a prescribed prayer that has no connection to the funeral prayer. So continue. Then, if you catch the congregational prayer, that is what is sought; otherwise, praise be to Allah, you owe nothing.
The questioner : Your Eminence, does intentionally swallowing phlegm break the fast of the one who is fasting?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
