(*hay'h Abu +esa,s opinion) The statement -.a illaaha illallaah/ doesn,t literally have to be the last word. 0or a righteous slave the angel of death and its helpers ta'e the soul gently and from the front of the feet (and also from the right and left) and it,s the opposite It is not allowed to delay the funeral and it is not allowed to do autopsy unless we suspect criminal behavior, unless we suspect any suspicious behavior. Shaykh Abu Eesa says that we can cut the body only when needed but it The prophet (saw) prayed the anaa!ah prayer for some sahaaba. There is a "awaaid al#fi""iyah that the rewards are correlated to the deeds. Some scholars use this as it helps to dinsti$uish (ibn "ayyim said that when you see bi$ numbers of rewards, names of certain individuals (outside of the sahaaba) and when the reward doesn%t fit the deed then these are normally a si$n of a weak h &'d(th) If you pray far and then stay seated in your area then you $et the reward of a full ha and umrah (due to the h&'d(th of the prophet (SA))) but the h&'d(th specifies the far prayer in amaa% so how can women $et the reward for The prophet (SA)) said don%t be like the camel who takes a certain place to pray and always prays in their. *n a side point the most number of animals is mentioned donkey, crow, do$ +husl # )ashin$ of the body ,afn # Shroudin$ of the body -afn # .uryin$ of the body The scholars say that if there is no/ to do kafn for a women then you do tayamum for her. This is the opinion of the four imams )hen you pray over a man 0 you are near his head, when you pray over a women you are near her middle, when there are men, women and children then the recommendation is that the men are ahead and then the children and then the women. If there are men then the one closest to the imam should be the one who has memori!ed the most 1uran (if we don%t know then we put the eldest closer). 2whenever a muslim dies and 3 lines of muslim pray amaa!ah for him, he is $ranted for$iveness4 0 h&'d(th narrated by imam ahmad and imam tirmidhi and abu dawood and is hassan. The word musalah is the place where salaah is performed (other than the masid) 5 takbeeraats 6 narrated my imam muslim Ali (7A) did 8 on sahl ibn hunayf the prophet (SA)) did 9 for the people of badr :or teachin$ purposes you can do the whole anaa!ah prayer out loud (shafi%ees and hanbalees say that it is a proper prayer and your must rcite the fatihah, however the hanafi%ees and ibn taymiyyah hold the opinion that it is a dua%a) but the default is to recite it silently. It is permissible to recite the thana and a surah after the fatihah but you shouldn%t do this as you are delayin$ the burial. ;anafi and malikees say that you don%t do rafa yadayn since there is no hadith on this, the shafi%ees and hanbalees say that the <asl is the prayer hence they make "iyaas. If you oin the prayer late then accordin$ to Shaykh Abu Eesa you start the prayer and try to catch up with the imam.

Imam Abu dawood narrates that the prophet (SA)) was approached and a companion died and the prophet (SA)) said pray on your friend and the companions became upset and said your friend has stolen from the money of the muslims. )e can shroud non#muslims. The son of Abdullah ibn ubay wanted to pray over his father and he told the prophet (SA)) and <umar ibn al#khataab said what are you doin$ are you prayin$ over a hypocrite and the prophet (SA)) said that the All'h has said 2whether you pray for them or not All'h will not for$ive them4 All'h then revealed the rest of the ayah -u%a in con$re$ation is accepetable :ormali!in$ dua in con$re$ation in a place where it isn%t le$islated is bidah There are 9 main cases where a woman inherits in three of these scenarios she $ets more than the man, in one of them she $ets the same and in the remainin$ three she receives less than atleast one man but possibly more than the others. :or e>ample, if someone passes away, the mother $ets a third the husband $ets half and the $randfather $ets the remainder. A dau$hter with no siblin$s but a $randdau$hter (not hers). A sister with only a half#sister. A $randdau$hter with a wife and a mother. All of the first mentioned $et a half of the money.
