Are the Hadiths that say that Aisha (RA), along with the other woman, started hitting her face in grief when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed away authentic? > مات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين سحري، ونحري وفي دولتي، لم أظلم فيه أحدا، فمن سفهي وحداثة سني أن رسول الله قبض وهو في حجري، ثم وضعت رأسه على وسادة، وقمت ألتدم مع النساء، وأضرب وجهي > >They have recounted that ‘A’ishah said, > >The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) passed away leaning against my chest. I did not wrong anyone regarding him. It was from my weakness and the youth of my age that the Messenger of Allah was taken whilst in my lap, then I placed his head on a pillow and stood hitting myself along with the women and hitting my face. > > — [Musnad Ahmad](https://shamela.ws/book/25794/22057) - (translation from [seekersguidance.org](https://seekersguidance.org/answers/adab/how-do-we-understand-the-reaction-of-our-mother-aisha-when-the-prophet-may-allah-bless-him-and-give-him-peace-passed-away/)) and if so, how should we interpret these narrations, given that Islam prohibits such displays of mourning? I have also heard that the prohibition applies to making such actions a habitual or deliberate practice, while instinctive reactions due to overwhelming grief may not be considered sinful. Is this true?

Some non Muslim used to ask me that why do Muslim don't allow death bodies to stay out or in the house for more than one day. Can someone help me with the answer please

Why women are not allowed to attend the burial of someone? If a person dies, then he can be a father or brother of a woman, then doesn't she have the right to attend the burial procession?

I was told that Mahdi will pass away and jesus will bury him and pray funeral prayer over him. I cant locate the quotes except a link which mentions ambiguous sources. Google search isn't giving out anything except for the same webpage > sometime will pass, then Imam Mahdi will pass away. Hazrat Isa (as) will offer his funeral. http://nasirislam.com/Signoflasthour/Isa(as).html Is there a hadith for jesus burying Mahdi and jesus offering funeral prayer?

Assalamu Alaikum, Is there any sahih hadith related to performing Namaz-e-Janaza for one who committed suicide?

As salam wa laiqum, Dear Brothers and sisters in Islam, My Father passed away on 5th Shawwal, 1442 AH (18th of May 2021). It was a sudden shock for every one of us, he left us without giving us any hint. Being His only son, what will be my duties towards my Marhoom Father? Secondly, I am praying for his Magfirah, but somewhere i feel that i am not doing enough. I want to know how my father is in grave, Is their a way to know that he is all right? Thirdly, My father passed away while i was in USA and by the time i was back in India he was already buried, i Missed his Janaza, For which i will curse my self till my last day. Is their a way to give Kaffara for this Sin? I request you all to please pray for his Magfira... Thanks and Jazakh Allah Khair Ateeq

Assalamualaikum, I would be grateful if anybody in this forum could please provide evidence based on quran and sunnah as to whether it is permissible to attend a nonmuslim funeral service for **a deceased person who was a muslim**? (If the sources could be cited/quoted that would also be good so that we can disseminate the basis of your judgement to other family members.) The context is that my granduncle reverted to islam when he married my grandaunt, a practising muslim, about 50 years ago. Recently he also reaffirmed his shahadah. He resides in a nonmuslim country. We, the family, therefore believe he is muslim. However his will does not state anything about funeral arrangements. Some members of his nonmuslim (christian) family have been named as executors, and have allowed us to come to their **Christian funeral service** for him at the church. This is the basis of the question above. If we were to **attend** and sit but **not participate (sing read etc) in any religious rites** (therefore coming only as representatives of my grandaunt to her husband's funeral, and with a view that this would encourage a favourable view of Islam inshaallah among the nonmuslim attendees), would this be permissible in islam? I am very grateful and thank you for your consideration of this question. The family would greatly appreciate a response as soon as possible as the funeral ceremony might be happening in the next few days. Jazakumullah. Wassalam.

I read in ibn al jawzis work talbis iblis that Shiism believes Fatima washed herself before her death so that it would suffice for funeral wash. (Page 177 English translation) Is this narration correct, if its correct how does it take care of any discharges from anus and private part post death? Secondly how does she know shes going to die in few minutes or hours? Doesn't this contradict Shia view of imams only being inheritors of knowledge?

I recently came across a quote on FB that was claimed as being a hadith. The summary of the quote was that after the janazah and burial of one's deceased parent, one should stay at their grave, reciting surahs and duas for them for such an amount of time that is equivalent to the time it takes a person to slaughter a camel, skin it and to cut and distribute its meat. Otherwise, the deceased feels as if they have been set adrift in the sea without any support. I wanted to confirm whether this is actually a hadith or not, before forwarding it to others.

I am married to a muslim man and have three muslim children but am not muslim myself. My questions are:- 1. Can I go to his funeral? 2. Can I wash his body (wadoo)? 3. Can I go to the the grave and watch?

Note: If it is necessary this post can be divided into two separate questions (I hope for some constructive comments). Basically what I want to know is: what are the conditions for a burial for the named cases ... or from what development stage or age of a fetus on is a burial necessary... And I do assume that the necessity of to bury a body imply the necessity of performing salat al-Janazah I just want to know whether my assumption is right. I hope for answers with evidences that cover an approved fiqh opinion on the matter.

We wash the dead body, perform funeral (janazah) prayer, bury the dead body in a grave and throw three fistful of soil and then fill the grave. But what is the funeral procedure like if the body is not found?

I was attending a furnal prayer. In that furner prayer Imam Offered five Taqbeer instead of four. In that furner prayer someone gave suggestion to reoffer the prayer correctly and some denied. Alot of confussion was created in that situation. What islam says about this ?

I am not Muslim; just writing a paper. I understand that there are eight schools of jurisprudence according to the Amman Message of 2004 (disregarding the doubts I've seen some people express about its wording). My essay is on the impacts that these madhhabs, in conjunction with local cultures, have on the Muslim funeral. However, all the sources I've found tend to treat funeral customs as a monolith. I'd really appreciate if anyone could direct me to sources that detail the differences in how Muslims following different schools of thought might practice death rites-- if there's any at all. Thank you in advance for your help!

As per instructions of prophet abu bakr arranged for burial where the prophet died. Prophet passed away in Aishas Room. > The Prophets are buried where they die.” al-Mughni, 2/193 Since the area is sealed for all Muslims in present day. Why will eesa bin maryam be buried in this room? > “The description of Muhammad is written in the Torah and (it is also written) that ʻEesa, son of Mary, will be buried with him.” Abu Mawdood said, “There remains in the room (of ‘Aa’ishah) the space of a grave.” Abu ʻEesa (At-Tirmithi) may Allaah have mercy upon him commented, “This Hadeeth is Hasan Ghareeb." (Jami' at-Tirmidhi ) I'm assuming eesa bin maryam dies outside Aishas Room. Will eesa be considered as a ruler only and not prophet?

When angel of death descended to remove soul of last prophet. He said he was given the choice like all prophets what is the the choice? > No soul of a Prophet is taken until he has been shown his place in Paradise and ***then he is given the choice*** (bukhari 4463 )

Asalaamu Alaykum, I wanted to ask, a lot of people in my culture do something called a “Khatam” after the janaza, where all the men will gather in the mosque for 3 days and the women in a house, and they’ll sit for these 3 days reading Qur’an and they’ll serve food to everyone in the gathering. They’ll even have the seeds of eaten dates where they’ll be reciting something on each of them and placing them in to a bowl. Also they’ll ask people in the gathering to read a certain Surah or chapter from the Qur’an, a certain amount of times and to inform them once they’ve done so. So I wanted to ask if there’s anything in the Sunnah about this, because to me this seems like an innovation and something made up.

Tariq jamil of Pakistan said Mikail, Jibril and Israfil prayed funeral prayer of last prophet. Video available on YouTube. In another deleted? Video he said even Allah descended to Aisha's room and prayed funeral prayer Searching Google isn't giving proofs for Jibril or Mikhail praying funeral prayer. Is what being said about funeral prayer correct as per tabligh jamaat? I'm not asking whether its correct as per authentic hadith.

If I remember well -correct me if I'm wrong- usually the duration for a the grief or mourning for a death person in Islam is of three days. Now if a Muslim died in a non-Muslim country where the death body is not allowed to be buried unless the legal paperwork is done which takes 1-2 days and then the family must find an adequate graveyard where Muslims are buried. It might already take 3 or 4 days (and even more if the person for example died in the weekend) for all of this ... this made me wonder if the grief or mourning for the wife (wives) and female relatives starts with the death of the person or with the burial? So my question is: How long is the per Islam prescribed grief for a death relative and when does this grief actually starts?

I have two questions which are basically derived from https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/51051/13438 . According to what I've seen in practice the funeral prayer (Salat al-Janazah) is held once the dead body was purified by ghusl and brought to the next mosque at a time of a daily prayer. It is usually performed after the fard prayer and then usually the congregation moves with the dead body to the graveyard. So does this mean that as per Islam a burial must be performed right or soon after the janazah prayer or are there differences of opinion? (If so please give some basic details like: opinion and who held the opinion) Secondly for relatives and friends who are far away there's the possibility of salat al-Ghaa'ib in cases as in that of the linked post it might be possible that some people performed the prayer before the actual salat al-Janazah or burial is this permissible?
