(Fatwa: 492/492/m=1431)
The janazah salah of the holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was performed but no one led his janazah salah. Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbas narrates that on Tuesday when enshrouding of the holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was done the janazah was placed on the edge of the grave. People entered in the room in group and performed the janazah salah individually without jama’ah. (Sunan Ibn Majah).
It is narrated in Shamaa-il Tirmidhi that people asked Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddique (رضى الله تعالى عنه): should janaazah salah be performed for Rasulullah?’ He replied: ‘Yes’. They said: ‘And how?’ He said: ‘A group at a time should enter the room and perform the janazah salah individually without jamaa’ah, and return. In this manner all should perform the salah’. (Seeratul Mustafa Vol. 3)
