Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a martyr is not washed and no funeral prayer is performed for him, what is the explanation of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer for the martyrs of Uhud?
Answer:
And regarding this, they say that this was a farewell, and that this farewell took place years later. Did he pray for them, or did he merely supplicate for them, visit them, and make du'a for them? The term "prayer" here is intended to mean supplication. In any case, the prayer for a deceased person after years have passed is not a valid prayer, because the body has decomposed. Yes.
