What are the Faraaidh in Janaazah Salaah?
Published as Faraaidh of Janaazah Salaah
Question
What are the Faraaidh in Janaazah Salaah?
Answer
There are two Faraaidh in Janaazah Salaah
1. To recite all the four Takbeers.
2. To stand and perform the Janaazah Salaah if one is able.
Hence, if one does not recite any of the four Takbeers or one does not stand and perform the Salaah despite having the ability to stand, the Salaah will not be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
