Question

Salamalikom. In Mecca the imam prays janazah after Asr farz is done. Is this permissible?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for one to perform ṣalāh al-janāzah immediately after ṣalāh al-Asr as they do in Makkah al-Mukarramah.[i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

ومنع عن الصّلاة وسجدة التّلاوة وصلاة الجنازة عند الطّلوع والاستواء والغروب إلّا عصر يومه وعن التّنفّل بعد صلاة الفجر والعصر لا عن قضاء فائتةٍ وسجدة تلاوةٍ وصلاة جنازة
