May More Than One Funeral Prayer Be Established For One Deceased?

Fatwas

May more than one funeral prayer be established for one deceased?

The fardh will be fulfilled when funeral prayer is established once. For this reason, it is not needed to be established again. However, those who failed to attend funeral prayer may establish it afterwards individually or by forming a separate congregation. Indeed, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) established funeral prayer for Umm S’ad later as he could not attend the funeral prayer on time (Tirmidhi, Jana’iz, 47).
