What have respected Islamic scholars ruled on the following matter? Is it allowed to offer the funeral Salah of an adult boy with that of a non-pubescent girl? If it is allowed, which Du’a will be recited during the funeral Salah; that of an adult one or a non-pubescent one? If both Du’as have to be recited, what will be its method? And, how many people’s funeral Salahs may be offered together? |

The funeral Salah of an adult may be offered along with that of a non-pubescent one. When you are offering the funeral Salah of an adult and that of a non-pubescent one together; recite the Du’a of the adult deceased first and then that of the non-pubescent one after you have recited Durood and said the third Takbeer. The funeral Salahs of as many deceased Muslims may be offered together as are present. Blessed Shari’ah has not specified any figure in this regard. However, it is better to offer the funeral Salah of every deceased Muslim separately. Imam-e- Ahl-e-Sunnat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was asked a question, as stated in Fatawa Razawiyyah: How many people’s funeral Salahs may be offered together? He replied, ‘No matter how many deceased Muslims have been gathered for their funeral Salah, whether one hundred or two hundred, the funeral Salah of all of them may be offered together.’ Regarding offering the funeral Salah of a non-pubescent child along with that of an adult, A’la Hadratرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه further stated, as mentioned on the next page,‘The funeral Salah of the non-pubescent along with that of adults may be offered. Both Du’as (i.e. the Du’a of the adult and that of the non-pubescent) should be recited. Recite the Du’a of the adult first and then that of non-pubescent ones. However, if there is no difficulty, it is better to offer the funeral Salah of every deceased Muslim separately.’(Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 24, pp. 199, 200) |
