Method Of Funeral Salah (Hanafi) And Dua Of Funeral

The Muqtadī should make the following intention: ‘I make the intention of offering this funeral Ṣalāĥ for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and making supplication (Du’ā) for this dead person, following this Imām.’

(Fatāwā Tātār Khāniyaĥ, vol. 2, pp. 153)

Now the Imām and the Muqtadīs should raise their hands up to their ears and fold them below the navel as usual whilst saying اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ, and then recite Šanā. After ‘وَتَعَالٰي جَدُّكَ’ read ‘وَجَلَّ ثَنَآءُكَ وَلَآ اِلٰهَ غَيۡرُكَ.’ Then, without raising the hands, say اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ and recite Durūd-e-Ibrāĥīm. Without raising the hands again, say اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ and now recite the supplication (the Imām should say the Takbīrāt loudly whilst the Muqtadīs should do the same in a low voice. Both the Imām and Muqtadīs should recite the remaining invocations in a low voice).

After the supplication, say اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ, unfold the hands and perform Salām on both sides. During the Salām, the intention should be made for the deceased person, for angels and for the participants of the Ṣalāĥ, same as in the Salām of other Ṣalāĥs; the only difference here is the addition of the intention for the deceased person as well.

O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! Forgive all of our living ones and all the dead ones, and all those who are present and all those who are not present, and all our young ones and all our elderly ones, and all our men and all our women. Yā Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! Whomever you keep alive from among us, keep him alive in Islam, and whomever of us you make die, make him die with faith.
