The Opening Supplication in the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says, may Allah reward you and protect you from all evil: My question is, is there an opening supplication in the funeral prayer?
Answer:
It is based on ease, so it is better not to make the opening supplication; because it is based on ease and expediting, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “Hasten with the funeral.” And if one makes the opening supplication, there is no blame on him, but it is better not to make the opening supplication; because it is based on ease.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
