Ruling on reciting al-Faatihah during the Janaazah prayer
Question: 20435
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is obligatory, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “pray as you have seen me praying.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no prayer for the one who does not recite the Opening of the Book [al-Faatihah].” Saheeh – agreed upon.
