Repeating Janazah Prayer

Question: Salam Hazrat, what is the ruling of having a janazah here in the UK with the permission of the  wali and then another in Pakistan? I know of a case where certain people have had 3 different Janazah prayers prayed for the same mayyit. Is this a bidah or a cultural practice or is it permitted?

JazakAllah

Answer:

الجواب بعون الملك الوهاب

In Fatawa Alamghiri, Fatawa Shaami and Fatawa Qazi Khan, it is stated that:

The Salat al-Janazah is not allowed to be repeated unless if the Wali had not performed the first Salat al-Janazah.

واللہ تعالی اعلم
