However, if he is praying in a congregation, then there is no harm in his being distant from the dead body in the rows which are connected to each other.Ħ07. The person offering Namaz-e-Mayyit should not be distant from the dead body. However, its being a little higher or lower is immaterial.Ħ06. As a recommended precaution, the place where a man stands to offer Namaz-e-Mayyit should not be a usurped one, and it should not be higher or lower than the place where the dead body is kept. One who offers Namaz-e-Mayyit should face the Qibla, and it is also obligatory that at the time of Namaz-e-Mayyit, the dead body remains before him on its back, in a manner that its head is on his right and its feet on his left side.Ħ05. However, it is better that while offering this Namaz one should observe all the formal rules which are normally observed in other prayers.Ħ04. Rather there is no harm even if his dress is a usurped one. It is not necessary for a person who offers Namaz-e-Mayyit to be in Wudhu or Ghusl or tayammum nor is it necessary that his body and dress be Pak. Namaz-e-Mayyit should be offered after the dead body has been given Ghusl, Hunnut and Kafan and if it is offered before or during the performance of these acts, it does not suffice, even if it is due to forgetfulness or on account of not knowing the rule.Ħ03. However, to offer Namaz-e-Mayyit for a still born child is not Mustahab.Ħ02. If it did not know of Namaz, then the prayers may be offered with the Niyyat of 'Raja'. If a child had not completed 6 years of its age, but it was a discerning child who knew what Namaz was, then as an obligatory precaution, Namaz-e-Mayyit for it should be offered. It is obligatory to offer Namaz-e-Mayyit for every Muslim, as well as for a Muslim child if it has completed 6 years of its age.Ħ01.
