How to Arrange the Dead Bodies When Praying Over Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam prays over the dead bodies, should he place the most virtuous one in front of the qiblah, or should he place it in front of him, meaning closest to him? And is it the same in the grave?
Answer:
The most virtuous one should be placed closest to him.
The question is asked again:
The man is placed closest to him, then the boy is placed after the man, and then the women are behind them in the direction of the qiblah. The first row of the dead bodies is for the men, the row after that is for the boys, and then the women are at the back, like the rows. The men are closest to the imam, then the boys are after the men among the dead bodies, and then the women are in the direction of the qiblah. This is the Sunnah.
