Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 491/483=D)

It is makrooh-e-tanzeehi (undesirable) to pray funeral salah in mosque. Those who will pray in mosque they will commit karahah (undesirability). In a Hadith, it is stated: من صلی علی جنازۃ فی المسجد فلا شئ لہ (طحطاوی: 596) Where as the author of Durr-e-Mukhtar preferred that it is makrooh-e-tareemi: والمختار الکراھۃ مطلقاً (الشامی: 1/653)
