Why Surah Fatihah is Missing in Salatul Janazah?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: Surah Fatihah must be read in every rakah of Salah to be complete, isn’t? Then in Salatul Janazah why Surah Fatihah is not read, what if we read it ?

Bismillaah

A: Salaatul Janaazah is a dua. It is not a namaaz.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
