The Ruling on the Adhan for the Tarawih and Funeral Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s issue is also regarding the prayer of standing or the Tarawih, and the meaning, as some historians understand it in his statement "the prayer of standing," is that it is established by the permission of Allah, or the funeral, meaning he said the prayer for the deceased, so the meaning is likewise that he dies from
Answer:
It is not prescribed to call the adhan for the Tarawih, nor for the Tahajjud, nor for the funeral prayer. As for his saying "the prayer of standing," may Allah reward you, or his saying "pray for the funeral," this is not an adhan; this is not part of the adhan. Rather, it is to alert the sleeping people or those who did not know about attending the funeral. They alert them with this, and there is no harm in this. This is not considered an adhan, but rather it is merely an alert for those present.
Yes. If he leaves out the phrase "the prayer of standing," if he leaves it out, that would be better, because it becomes clear by the imam beginning the takbir and recitation, or the takbir of the announcers is sufficient in place of saying "the prayer of standing." So leaving it out in the prayer of standing is better. As for the funeral prayer, there is absolutely no objection to saying "pray for the funeral, may Allah have mercy on you," "pray for the man," "pray for the woman," "pray for the child." There is no objection to this, because the people did not know about attending the funeral, especially if they are in the two Holy Mosques or in the large congregational mosques; they do not know about attending the funeral. The rear rows do not know, so they inform them of it. There is no objection to that, and this is not part of the adhan; this is merely an alert. Yes.
