							the prayers for the dead body:  
								
								
								
								.^. 
								A person who offers prayers for the dead body 
								should have had Ghusl or performed Wudhu or 
								tayammum. And the precaution is that he should 
								perform tayammum only when it is not possible to 
								do Ghusl, or Wudhu, or if he fears that if he 
								goes for Ghusl or Wudhu it will not be possible 
								for him to participate in the prayers. .^. 
								If the dead body is that of a male the Imam or a 
								person who is offering the prayers alone should 
								stand at the centre of its height, that is, the 
								middle part of the dead body, and if the dead 
								body is that of a female he should stand at the 
								chest of the dead body.
 .^. 
								To pray bare-footed.
 .^. 
								To raise one's hands (up to the ears) while 
								pronouncing every takbir.
 .^. 
								The distance between the person offering prayers 
								and the dead body should be so short that, when 
								the wind blows, the dress of the person offering 
								the prayers would touch the coffin.
 .^. 
								To pray in congregation.
 .^. 
								The Imam to recite the takbirs and supplications 
								loudly and those offering the prayers with him 
								to recite them in a low voice.
 .^. 
								If there is only one person joining the 
								Namaz-e-Mayyit being offered in Jama'at, he 
								would stand behind the Imam.
 .^. 
								One who offers the prayers should earnestly and 
								persistently pray for the dead as well as for 
								all the believers.
 .^. 
								Before the commencement of the congregational 
								prayers for the dead body one should say "as-Salat" 
								three times.
 .^. 
								The prayers be offered at a place where people 
								often go for Namaz-e-Mayyit.
 .^. 
								If a Haaez (woman in her menses) participates in 
								the congregational prayers for a dead person, 
								she should stand alone and should not join the 
								lines.
 
							619. It is Makrooh to perform prayers for dead 
							bodies in masjids, except in Masjidul Haram.
