Supplication when praying over an adult and a child together
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Because that is how the Sunnah was transmitted, yes.
The questioner:
Sometimes the prayer is over an adult deceased, and a child, or otherwise. With what does the one praying supplicate? And is it better to separate the prayer for each one?
The Shaykh:
No, they pray over them all together, and he supplicates for the deceased with the transmitted supplication, and he supplicates for the child with the transmitted supplication. He can do that; he can supplicate for the adult with the supplication transmitted regarding the adult, and for the child with what was transmitted regarding the child, yes.
