Summary
Performing a funeral prayer after Zohor, when Zohor is to be combined with Asar, does not break the continuity (muwalah) of the combined prayers. The majority of scholars require muwalah for jamak taqdim, meaning no customarily long gap such as more than five minutes, while jamak ta’khir does not require it. Some scholars do not require muwalah at all because combining prayers is meant to give ease, and this view is described as having strength, though the more cautious course is not to combine if the prayers are not consecutive.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
