Praying over a funeral more than once
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message is from Najran. Its sender says: He sees many people praying over a funeral more than once. What is the ruling on praying over a funeral more than once?
Answer: We are not aware of any harm in it if one attends the funeral and prays over it with a congregation, and then attends another congregation and prays with them over it in the cemetery or in any place; there is no harm in that, if Allah wills. There is nothing wrong with it. It is obligatory to pray over it once. It is obligatory that one prays over it only once. But if it happens that they prayed over it in the mosque, and then others came and he prayed with them in the cemetery or in another mosque, and he attended with them and prayed, there is nothing wrong with that. All of this is an increase in good. Yes.
