Standing on the right of the imaam if the place is crowded for the funeral prayer
Question: 11680
Is it permissible to stand on the right of the imaam for the funeral prayer?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If it is necessary, it is OK to stand on his right or his left, although
the Sunnah is to pray behind the imaam. But if the place is crowded,
it is OK.
