Question:
QUESTION1-WHAT IS THE SUNNAH THANAA AND DUROOD TO BE RECITED IN JANAZAH SALAAT AND WHAT IS THE REFERENCE TO ANSWER?
Answer:
The Sunnah Thanaa which is to be recited in Janazah Salaah is: “Subhaanakallahumma wa bi hamdika wa tabaarakas muka wa ta’aalaa jadduka wa jalla thanaauka wa laa ilaaha ghairuk.” (Raddul Muhtaar, Vol. 1, Page 644)
According to the books of Hanafi jurisprudence the Durood of Janazah Salaah should be the same as the Durood of Tashahhud (i.e. Durood-e-Ebrahim) of the normal Salaah even though the Durood can be read in any mentioned form. (Raddul Muhtaar, Vol. 1, Page 644, Al-Bahrur Raaiq, Vol. 2, Page 183, Badaai-us-Sanaai’, Vol. 1, Page 313, Fataawaa Haqqaaniyyah, Vol. 3, Page 444)
