One Who Forgets to Recite al-Fatihah in the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one forgets to recite al-Fatihah in the funeral prayer, is his prayer valid, or is he required to recite it after the imam has concluded the prayer?
Answer:
The prayer with me is valid, because he left out a pillar of it, so he repeats it. He repeats it if he is able to, or if he finds people praying over the deceased, he prays with them and repeats the prayer over them. Yes.
