Primary text

If one performs Tayammum for a deceased person and then gains access to water during the funeral prayer, leaving the prayer becomes obligatory. This is because washing the deceased becomes possible and does not require the one praying to nullify their current prayer, unlike the case where water is found after entering the prayer (Tayammum for oneself).

Supporting text

It is possible that this situation is treated like the case where water is found after entering the prayer, because water was only found after the commencement of the prayer.
