How to supplicate for a deceased child in the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is there a specific supplication in the Sunnah to be recited for a deceased child in the prayer over him? And is there a prohibition in the Sunnah against a woman lying on her back?
As for the first question, there is no authentic Sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, but there are narrations whose authenticity is subject to scrutiny. They state that for a child who has not reached puberty, one supplicates for his parents,Some jurists mentioned a suitable supplication, saying: saying: "O Allah, make him a pioneer for his parents, a store of good deeds, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. O Allah, make him weigh down their scales of good deeds and magnify their rewards. Attach him to the righteous predecessors of the believers, place him under the care of Ibrahim, and protect him, by Your mercy, from the punishment of the blazing Fire."
As for a woman lying on her back, it is not recommended, especially if there is someone in the house, as they might pass by her while she is in this state, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) may occur. However, if she is alone in her house, there is nothing wrong with it.
