Is there any harm if it is not known whether the deceased is male or female?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man prays over a funeral and does not know whether it is a man, a woman, or a child?

The Shaykh : There is no harm, there is no obstacle.

The questioner : How does he make the supplication?

The Shaykh : He says: O Allah, forgive him, or O Allah, forgive her. "Forgive him" means for this person, and "forgive her" means for this funeral.
