The Ruling on Supplicating for the Deceased in the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding reciting al-Fatihah, or the prayer for the Messenger, or supplicating for the deceased.
The Shaykh:
He owes nothing; he did not mention [the deceased] and did not prostrate, but he owes nothing. Yes.
The questioner:
If the funeral is for a man or a woman, is the supplication the same?
The Shaykh:
Generally, generally, yes, it is our share, and if the pronoun is feminine and masculine, there is no harm. If he mentions the deceased, and if you intended the funeral, the matter is broad in that May Allah reward us, that He forgive him, and he said, O Allah, forgive him, whether he was calm or he wept,
