Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, how is the deceased taught the shahada (testimony of faith)? Is it said to him only "There is no god but Allah," or is it said "There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner," and so on?

The Shaykh : "There is no god but Allah" is sufficient; "There is no god but Allah" is sufficient.

The presenter : May Allah reward the Messenger of Allah.

The Shaykh : No, no.
