The Imam's Position in the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: How should the imam stand in the funeral prayer?
A: It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the imam to stand at the head of a man and at the middle of a woman. If there are many bodies, the man is placed first, then the male child, then the woman, then the female child, and he prays over them all; because the objective is to hasten the funeral. He places the head of the child at the head of the man, and the middle of the woman at the head of the man, and likewise the female child, in accordance with the Sunnah.
