Question:

If someone is hungry, should he eat first or offer the funeral prayer first?

Answer:

He should offer the funeral prayer first. If there are then enough people to bury the deceased, then he can go and eat after the funeral prayer but if there are not enough

people to bury the deceased, then he should assist in the burial and only eat after that.

And Allah ﷻ knows the best
