06:00Important Hanafi rulings.
06:01It is preferable for the person performing the ghusl to be in a state of wudu,
06:05though it is not obligatory.
06:07Hands are raised only during the first takbir in Salat al-Janaza.
06:10There is no ruku'ah, tashahud, in the funeral prayer.
06:14If someone misses some takbirs,
06:16they should complete them after the imam finishes with salam.
06:20Unnecessary delay in the funeral and burial is considered makrooh.
06:24Making dua, seeking forgiveness,
06:26and giving charity on behalf of the deceased are all recommended acts.
06:30Note, this guide summarizes the well-known Hanafi rulings,
06:34found in classical Hanafi works.
06:36Some subsidiary rulings may differ among scholars.
06:38So it is advisable to consult qualified Hanafi scholars in your locality.
06:42May Allah forgive all deceased Muslims and grant them Jannat al-Firdaus.
06:46Ameen.
06:46For personal matters,
06:48consult a qualified scholar or mufti,
