Supplication for Children in the Funeral Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Regarding the prayer over the dead, when there are small children among them, is the supplication for them general, or are the children given a specific supplication?

Answer:
One supplicates for the deceased, whether adults or children, with the supplication reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One also supplicates for the children, seeking forgiveness for their parents and asking Allah to make them intercede for their parents. Thus, one supplicates for both the adults and the children. Yes.
