Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there are children who have been buried
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
and they number more than thirty or more, should I pray for them in the cemetery for each child individually, or is one prayer sufficient?
The Shaykh:
If the funerals are gathered together, whether they are adults or children, one prayer is performed for all of them. They are lined up in front of the imam, and he prays for them. The people pray behind him, and no separate prayer is performed for each individual funeral. Yes.
