The Prayer over the Funerals of Gathered Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, said: If there are children who have been buried, numbering thirty or more, should I pray over them in the cemetery for each child individually, or is one prayer sufficient?
Answer:
If the funerals are gathered together, whether the deceased are adults or children, one prayer is performed for all of them. The one who arranges the rows before the imam prays over them, and the people pray behind him. One does not perform a separate prayer for each funeral.
