ُﺑﺴْــــــــــــــــــﻢِ ﺍﷲِﺍﻟﺮَّﺣْﻤَﻦِ ﺍﻟﺮَّﺣِﻴﻢ
ﺍﻟﺴَّـــــــﻼَﻡُ ﻭ ﻋَﻠَﻴــْــﻜُﻢ ﻭَﺭَﺣْﻤَﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪِ ﻭَﺑَﺮَﻛـَـﺎﺗُہ
Praise be to Allaah (S. W. T)
Salat ul Janazah is a Fard Kifayah, and its procedure and details follow the sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him). It is strongly recommended that as many members of the Muslim community as possible should join the funeral procession and Salat ul Janazah:
6 Rights of a muslim over another.
Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (may peace and bleasings be upon him) said: Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim. It was said to him: Messenger of Allaah, what are these? Thereupon he said:
When you meet him, offer him greetings.
When he invites you to a feast accept it.
When he seeks your council give him.
When he sneezes and says:" All praise is due to Allaah," you say Yarhamuk Allaah (may Allaah show mercy to you).
When he fails ill visit him.
When he dies follow his bier.
(Sahih Bukhari and Muslim)
The following describes this Salat briefly:
(1) There is no Azan or Iqamah for Salat ul Janazah which is offered with the participants standing and with the body of the deceased placed in front of them. There are no Rukus or Sujud to be performed in Salat ul Janazah1
(2) It is preferable if those offering Salat ul Janazah form an odd number of rows with the Imam standing in the front facing the body of the deceased. He should stand in line with the head of a male deceased and with the midriff of a female deceased.
(3) In the case of multiple deceased persons, the bodies should be placed in a row with those of men nearest to the Imam.
(4) If Salat ul Janazah is being offered in the open, it is not necessary for the participants to take off their shoes so long as they are visibly clean.
(5) The deceased and those offering the Salat must be Muslims, and the body of the deceased and those offering the Salat must be in a state of ceremonial cleanliness
(Wudu or Ghusl).
Notes
(i) It is not obligatory to offer Salat ul Janazah for children who die before attaining the age of puberty as is clear from the following.
Narrated by Aishah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that Ibraheem (the son of the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh), died when he was eighteen months old, and the Messenger pf Allaah (pbuh) did not pray (Janazah) for him."
(Ahmad and Abu Dawood).
However, it is permissible to offer Salat ul Janazah for a child including a miscarried fetus. A Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad reports the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) as saying that: "As for a fetus, the (Janazah) prayer may be performed for it, and Dua would be made that its parents be granted forgiveness and mercy."
(ii) Salat ul Janazah must be offered even for a Muslim guilty of ignoring the teachings of Islam (e.g, Salat, Zakat, prohibition of alcohol and Zina etc.). However, respected leaders of the community should refrain from participating in the Salat ul Janazah as a demonstration of their disapproval of the conduct of the deceased and as an admonition to others.
The following is a brief description of Salat ul Janazah:
(1) The Imam should raise his hands, recite the Takbeer, and then tie his hands as in all other Salats. Those offering the Salat should follow, and then recite Surat ul Fatihah silently.
(2) The Imam should say the Takbeer audibly a second time. He may or may not raise his hands while doing this. Others should follow, and then recite Ibraheemiyah silently.
(3) The Imam should recite the Takbeer a third time while others should follow. Then everyone should offer Dua al Mayyah (a prayer for Allah's mercy to be visited upon the deceased) silently.
(4) The Imam should recite Takbeer a fourth time as above. Everyone should then offer prayers for the Muslim community in general, again silently.
(5) Finally, the Imam should recite Salam as in all other prayers to complete Salat ul Janazah.
Salam may be offered once to the right only, or once each to the right and then to the left as in all other prayers.
This would complete the Salat ul Janazah.

4- Then lastly after the Fourth Takbeer: Say: ( Allaahumma laa tuharrimnaa ajrahuu wa laa taftinna ba'adahuu )
And you should pray for all Muslims
5- And lastly end the prayer with one Salaam to the right (just once)
