Question:
How does the one who prays make supplication for the dead if they are a group of men and women, old and young?
Answer:
One should make a single supplication for the deceased, saying: “O Allah, forgive them,” instead of saying “O Allah, forgive him.” One says, “O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them.” If it is one man, one says, “O Allah, forgive him.” If it is one woman, one says, “O Allah, forgive her.” If it is a child, if it is a child below the age of puberty, one says, “O Allah, forgive his parents.” Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
