Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Libya says: Your Eminence! Please explain to us the funeral prayer? Does the funeral prayer for the present differ from the funeral prayer for the absent? And is the funeral prayer performed for a miscarried fetus?
Answer:
The funeral prayer is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it: four takbirs. One says takbir, then recites al-Fatihah, then says takbir and sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then says the third takbir and says:Sunan Ibn Majah 1498Hasan (Darussalam) Then he makes du'a for him; if it is a man, he says: .
And for a woman it is the same, but he says: (O Allah, forgive her and have mercy on her).
And if they are a group, he says: (O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them), then he says the fourth takbir and then turns his face to the right to say the closing salam.
And the fetus is prayed over; the miscarried fetus is prayed over just as the adult is prayed over, and du'a is made for its parents after the third takbir: Yes.

Answer:
The funeral prayer is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it: four takbirs. One says takbir, then recites al-Fatihah, then says takbir and sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then says the third takbir and says:
Allahummaghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina, wa shahidina wa gha’ibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana. Allahumma man ahyaitahu minna fa'ahyihi ‘alal-Islam, wa man tawaffaytahu minna fa tawaffahu ‘alal- iman.
اللهم اغفر لحينا وميتنا وشاهدنا وغائبنا وصغيرنا وكبيرنا وذكرنا وأنثانا، اللهم من أحييته منا فأحيه على الإسلام، ومن توفيته منا فتوفه على الإيمانO Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him well-being and pardon him, honor his residence and widen his entrance, wash him with water, snow, and hail, and purify him from sins as a white garment is purified from dirt. O Allah, replace his home with a better home and his family with a better family—and if he has a wife—he says: and a better wife. O Allah, admit him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. Make his grave spacious for him and light it for him. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us go astray after him, and forgive us and him.
اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه وأكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد، ونقه من الخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس، اللهم أبدله دارًا خيرًا من داره وأهلًا خيرًا من أهله -وإن كانت عنده زوجة- يقول وزوجًا خير من زوجه، اللهم أدخله الجنة وأعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار، وافسح له في قبره ونور له فيه، اللهم لا تحرمنا أجره ولا تضلنا بعده واغفر لنا ولهAnd for a woman it is the same, but he says: (O Allah, forgive her and have mercy on her).
And if they are a group, he says: (O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them), then he says the fourth takbir and then turns his face to the right to say the closing salam.
And the fetus is prayed over; the miscarried fetus is prayed over just as the adult is prayed over, and du'a is made for its parents after the third takbir:
O Allah, make him a store for his parents, a forerunner, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. O Allah, magnify their rewards through him and weigh down their scales with him, and join him with the righteous predecessors of the believers, and place him under the care of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and protect him, by Your mercy, from the punishment of the blazing Fire.
اللهم اجعله ذخرًا لوالديه وفرطًا وشفيعًا مجابًا، اللهم أعظم به أجورهما وثقل به موازينهما، وألحقه بصالح سلف المؤمنين، واجعله في كفالة إبراهيم عليه السلام، وقه برحمتك عذاب الجحيمThe presenter: May Allah reward you.
