Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are some questions from one of our dear brothers, the listeners, Ibrahim al-Sa'idi from al-Dawadimi. He asks: Is there a specific supplication in the Sunnah to be recited for a deceased child during the funeral prayer? And is there a prohibition in the Sunnah against a woman lying on her back?

Answer:
Yes, one supplicates for the parents of the deceased child, asking for forgiveness for them, and that Allah make the child a store of good, a reward, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. One also supplicates for the child that Allah place him in the care of Ibrahim and protect him from the punishment of the Hellfire, as mentioned in the hadith.
