Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

ala Rasulillah. While he was happy again,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

but it is some sisters.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:29

I have received a follow up question on my post on Islamic

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

funerals in the time of COVID-19.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

The question is

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

that we cannot go on prey on the gray whale,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

given the strict

00:00:46 --> 00:00:52

requirements or guidelines provided by the health authorities

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

or personnel,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

how do we perform

00:00:58 --> 00:01:05

Serato Janaza at home? Can we do so? We are allowed to do that, how

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

do we do it?

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

This is a very important question.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

As we all know that

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

the last of the rights or duties that we could perform

00:01:21 --> 00:01:30

to our family member or friend, or brother or sister is to be able to

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

attend the janazah, to pray,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:40

to participate in Salah to janazah and if we can to accompany the

00:01:40 --> 00:01:47

funeral to the grave. And then after burial of our another final

00:01:47 --> 00:01:53

supplication. These are the least of the things that we could do.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

And it really grieves the heart

00:01:58 --> 00:02:07

of anyone that to be deprived of this great this important duty

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

that we should perform towards our dear ones or friends or brothers

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

or sisters.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:22

In Islam, there are there is flexibility. You have a choice of

00:02:23 --> 00:02:29

praise Allah to live. That mean, that means that in absentia

00:02:30 --> 00:02:37

the Prophet Saturnalia precedent for it by offering Salah to Janaza

00:02:37 --> 00:02:44

or Negus for new Joshi, who died in every Cydia, the news was

00:02:44 --> 00:02:51

communicated to him instantly the same day by JB rerelease. Salatu

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

Salam, this is one of the miracles. So, the Prophet

00:02:54 --> 00:03:00

sallallahu wasallam you know, there was no device such as cell

00:03:00 --> 00:03:04

phone or other means of communication that we take for

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

granted today. So, the Prophet was informed of his death the same day

00:03:09 --> 00:03:15

he died, and then he gathered his companions offered Salah to

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

janazah over him.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

So, based on this majority of scholars and schools of

00:03:21 --> 00:03:26

jurisprudence, consider it recommended or even permissible

00:03:28 --> 00:03:35

or permissible to if if we want to do Salah to live on a person who

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

have died somewhere else, and in this case is stored somewhere else

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

is in the same city we would have joined the Salado janazah if we

00:03:45 --> 00:03:50

could do so but because of the extreme circumstance, we are

00:03:50 --> 00:03:55

proven that even family members may be brothers or sisters may be

00:03:55 --> 00:04:02

prevented. So in this case, it's a strong case for us to do that. And

00:04:02 --> 00:04:08

there is flexibility in the Sharia. If you are at home alone,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

even you can do so alone inshallah.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:18

The prophets janazah was performed individually by each of the

00:04:18 --> 00:04:25

Cumbria, males did that one after the other, and then females, and

00:04:25 --> 00:04:31

then children, so each one in his or her own way, did Salah on the

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam. The reason for that was there was

00:04:35 --> 00:04:42

no leader selected yet. So it's fine to do so. And also there are

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

other persons

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

from the seller for salary when the Prophet salallahu Salam has

00:04:49 --> 00:04:55

given the example for it, that we can do Serato genizah or Serato

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

void, either individually or collectively, we have more than

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

one person

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

or sent at home. One person should lead and the others should follow.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:10

And the format of Serato janazah, as we should remember is first to

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

make the NEA here we are, in this case, praying for the person who

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

might be worried already. So we are, he is not in front of us, she

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

is not in front of us. So make that media that you are praying

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

for that person and make the clear first step we'll refer to her or

00:05:29 --> 00:05:36

Santa or both, you know, sort of perfect here or Santa or both. And

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

then second that we read the road

00:05:39 --> 00:05:44

sheriff or as Schelotto libera Hibiya Allahumma Salli, ala

00:05:44 --> 00:05:51

Muhammad wa ala Ali Muhammad until the end, then another Kabir then

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

you are going to pray for the Ummah yet if you don't know any

00:05:54 --> 00:06:00

dua you can even look in the book and read the lower if he chose to.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:05

Otherwise, if he want to make a short you can say Hola, como lo,

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

Allah homophone Allahu Allahu Morahan mu we all forgive him,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

have mercy on him. If it is a female, Allah homophone Allah

00:06:15 --> 00:06:21

Allahu Morahan Ha, ALLAH forgive her have mercy on her and make

00:06:21 --> 00:06:27

also the idea of mine, Allah Spano, Tala, with him or her two

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

children for those and after, after having read the DUA and

00:06:31 --> 00:06:36

other tech, we're then Salem on both sides or one side, whichever

00:06:36 --> 00:06:43

we want to follow, that is fine. So, Sarah to revive is done. Now,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

you can also take the other option than Fe school has

00:06:49 --> 00:06:55

a favor of it, you simply gather the people and make a dua that can

00:06:55 --> 00:07:01

be done also, whichever method you want to follow is fine, select

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

avoid is there is a precedent for it. So you can do so in this case,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:11

especially your prerendered from going to the but if you are

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

allowed to go individually to the game and you want to do have that

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

satisfaction you have you know, this is a good thing for you to

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

greet that brother or sister and also make the collateral janazah

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

on the grave itself. The Prophet has done so, and according to some

00:07:30 --> 00:07:36

schools, it can be done even after months. Okay, so you can do that

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

Islam is there is likely to reflect stability in such matters.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:46

There is no need for us to be very, very restricted or rigid on

00:07:46 --> 00:07:51

one set of views. Anyone following one school can opt for the option

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

of another school in such issues, because that is the way our

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

scholars themselves practice it. You will find examples of scholars

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

of Hanafi school following the method followed by Maliki school

00:08:05 --> 00:08:09

or Shafi school is recommended it's allowed in each of these

00:08:09 --> 00:08:14

schools by the eminence chorus. It's only the people who are

00:08:15 --> 00:08:21

very shallow knowledge who, who say you must follow everything in

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

the same school. Otherwise you are breaking the Sharia. We have lost

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

one out there help us to come together in unity on such issues

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

and pray for our Muslims. Regardless of this kind of

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

differences. Hakuna holy ha That was tougher Allah wa salam alaykum

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
