Question:
He wanted to pray over a funeral in a mosque, but then he remembered that he had something else to do in another mosque. So he faced the funeral before the prayer and prayed over it, then he went out to the second mosque alone. He says: What is the ruling on my prayer? And is wudu required for the funeral prayer or not?
Answer:
Wudu is required for the funeral prayer, just as it is for the other prayers.
Q: And the prayer he performed?
A: If he prayed alone, it does no harm. Congregation is not required for it.
