What is the ruling on one who stands near the mosque during the funeral prayer but does not perform it?

The funeral prayer is a communal obligation (fard kifaya) according to the majority of scholars. If some people perform it, the obligation falls away from the rest. Whoever misses praying it, and others pray it, incurs no sin. However, they have missed out on a great reward, for whoever prays the funeral prayer receives a qirat, and whoever follows it until it is buried receives two qirats, and a qirat is like a great mountain. This prayer is sought after and emphasized, especially for relatives, neighbors, and friends.
