Bequeathing who should offer Janazah Prayer for the deceased

Q 2: Is it permissible for one approaching death to instruct one's family that a certain person should lead the Janazah (Funeral) Prayer over him, although he is not a family member but a neighbor, yet is well-known for his sound `Aqidah (creed)?

A: It is permissible for a person to instruct others that after his death the Janazah Prayer offered over him should be led by a certain person known for his righteousness and sound `Aqidah, since this renders the Du`a' (supplication) all the more deserving to be answered.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
