Salāt-ul-Janāzah
(Funeral Prayer)

                When a Muslim dies, it is a fard kifāyah (communal obligation) upon the community that he or she should be buried. Before the burial, a special prayer is made for the dead person. This prayer, which is offered in a different manner than the regular prayers, is called the Janāzah prayer. The details of how to perform this prayer are readily available in English in various books and pamphlets.
