Standing on the right of the imaam if the place is crowded for the funeral prayer
Question: 11680
Answer
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.
