The opinion of the jurists regarding the janaza in absentia According to Imam Azam Abu Hanifa (Rah.) And all the Imams who follow him and Imam Malik (Rah.) - the janaza in absentia is not permissible. I want it before or after burial. Stay in or out of the city. (Mabsute Sarakhsi - 2/6, Darul Qutubil Ilmia, Beirut, Manhul Jalil - 1/38 pages). Although there is a statement from Imam Ahmad Ibn Hamble (Rah.) That it is permissible, his disciple Ibn Abi Musa mentions that it is not permissible from him. The famous jurist of the Hanbali school, Allama Ibn Kudama (Rah.) Has written in this regard, meaning: “Both Imam Malik (Rah.) And Imam Abu Hanifa (Rah.) Have said that janaza in secret is not permissible. Ibn Abi Musa has narrated from Imam Ahmad (Rah.) A statement similar to that of the two Imams. (Almugani, Ibn Kudama (Rah.) - 2/38 pages). According to Imam Shafi'i (Rah.) And Imam Ahmad bin Humble (Rah.) It is permissible to perform janaza in secret if the deceased is in a different city. But it is not permissible to perform janaza in secret inside the city. Mayyet must be present. (Al-Fiqhul Islami wa Adillatuhu - 1/504, Maktabatul Haqqaniyah, Pakistan, Al Majmoo - 5/253). Allama Ibn 'Abd al-Bar (may Allah be pleased with him) termed the statement that janaza in absentia is not permissible as the opinion of the majority of ulama'. As mentioned by Bukhari Sharif's commentator Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Zakaria (Rah.). He said, “Hanafi and Maliki ulama say that janaza in absentia is not in accordance with Shariah. Ibn 'Abd al-Barr (may Allah be pleased with him) referred to this statement as the opinion of most of the scholars. (Lamiud Darari - 4/432 pages). There is no word in the Qur'an or Hadith to say janaza or janaza in absentia of a person who is absent in the purest way There is no proof of this in the Qur'an or Hadith. There is no evidence of any janaza of this word from the Companions, the Tabi'is, the Tabi'is. Therefore, it is not permissible to perform janaza in secret. This is bidat. Allama Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Many people among the Muslims who were far away from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have died. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not perform janaza in secret. (Jadul Ma'ad-1/519) In the same way, during the time of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, how many Companions were martyred in Musailama. How many more Companions were martyred in the field of Jihad but none of Hazrat Abu Bakr and other Companions performed Janazah in secret. How many jihads have been held during the time of Hazrat Umar? How many thousands of Sahaba have been martyred on the field of Jihad far away from Medina. But no one can prove that the janaza was performed in secret during the time of Hazrat Umar. Can't give any example of the time of Hazrat Uthman and Hazrat Ali. But during the time of Hazrat Uthman and Hazrat Ali, how many thousands of Sahaba and Tabi'is were martyred. But no Companion can present any evidence from the Hadith or from the history that he has announced the funeral prayer in absentia or has performed the funeral prayer in absentia. Document of the Proponents of Ghaybana Janazah and its Rebuttal: The document contains a narration in the source of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Razi.) In Bukhari Sharif, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) informed the Companions about the death of King Najasi. Then he proceeded for the janaza. When the Companions stood behind him, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said four takbeers. ” (Bukhari Sharif, Delhi - 1/16 pages). The same narration has been narrated in Sahih Ibn Hibban (1/18) in the source of Hazrat Imran Ibn Husain (Razi.). And since the Nazis were not present in Madinah, while the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered their janaza prayers, it was understood that it was permissible to offer janaza in secret. There is evidence that the janaza was performed in secret from the Prophet (peace be upon him). Answer 1 First we do not see which rabbi has narrated that hadith? Didn't the narrators of the hadith understand that the janaza of Najasir is different from the hadith related to janaza in secret as a document of permissibility? There are three most famous rabbis of that hadith. E.g.

  1. Hazrat Abu Hurairah R.
  2. Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah R.
  3. Hazrat Imran bin Hussain R. King Najashi died in the month of Rajab in the ninth Hijri. (Hashiyaye Muwatta Malik-207) And Hazrat Abu Hurairah died in 59 AH. That is, Hazrat Abu Hurairah was alive for about 50 years after that incident. Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah died in 69 AH. As such, he lived to be 70 years old. Hazrat Imran bin Husain was alive for about 43 years after that incident. But in the midst of 50 years of Hazrat Abu Hurairah, in the whole 60 years of Hazrat Jabir and in the 43 years of Hazrat Imran bin Husain's life, has anyone ever performed janaza in secret, or asked to perform janaza in secret? If these Companions had understood the evidence of the permissibility of janaza in absentia from that incident even after living so long, then they should have read the janaza in absentia of many of the Companions who died in their time. But there is no evidence of a person performing janaza in absentia in any hadith or history book. Which clearly proves that by this incident no Companion understood the janaza in secret. Rather the subject was different. What actually happened then? If we put in front of all the hadiths containing the narration of that incident, then the matter will become clear to us InshaAllah. 2nd Answer: Hadiths related to the incident of Najasi. 1 Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) said: وَمَا نَحْسِبُ الْجِنَازَةَ إِلَّا مَوْضُوعَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 20005) 2 Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (Sahih Ibn Hibban, Hadith No. 3102) 3 Also this narration has been narrated from Hazrat Imran Ibn Haseen in the source of Hazrat Aban (Rah.). It says, "When I performed Janazah behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), I saw the body of Najasir in front of us." (Umdatul Kari Sharhul Bukhari - 6/33, Maktabaye Tawfiqiya, Egypt; Fathul Bari - 3/243 Darul Qutubil Ilmiyah). 4 In Abu Awana the word has come that we are not afraid of the funeral, that is, we were seeing that the janaza should be placed in front of us. Looking at all the above narrations, it will be clear why the Companions narrating the janaza of Najasir did not consider the incident to be a valid document. Although Nazashir described the janaza, he never performed the janaza in secret. Because they clearly understood that the janaza prayer of Najashi is not janaza in secret. Rather, the janaza of the person present. Najashi was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as a miracle of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited the janaza in front of that janaza. And the name of performing janaza in front is not janaza in absentia of the person present. Because the Companions knew this difference, no Companion had ever performed janaza in absentia in his life. Nor did he claim to perform janaza in absentia, nor did he present the evidence of that hadith in favor of janaza in absentia. Because they knew it was a miracle. So that the Nazis were not absent, the miracle of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was present in the might of Allah. What is the miraculous proof of the presence of distant objects? Nothing is impossible for Allah. The miracles of the prophets and the miracles of the saints are true. This is the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jamaat. Allaah has revealed many miracles from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Sometimes it was that he would sometimes bring distant objects closer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not have any power of his own. It is all God-given. In some miraculous events, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw distant objects near. For example, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in Medina. A fierce battle was going on in the Muta desert. The Companions were fighting for the religion at the risk of their lives. Sitting in Medina, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was describing the desert of Muta, hundreds of miles away. Saying, “Zayed took the flag and became a martyr. Then he took the flag Zafar and he also became a martyr. Then Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and he too became a martyr. ” At this stage the Prophet (peace be upon him) wept. He said, "This time Khalid bin Walid took the flag and became the winner." (Sahih Bukhari-1/17) 2 While staying in Makkah, he saw the full state of Baitul Makdis thousands of miles away and answered the questions of the disbelievers. (Bukhari-1/548) Abyssinia, Muta and Baitul Makdisto are the places of the world. Our Prophet has seen Paradise and Hell from sitting in Medina. (Bukhari-1 / 6,103,128,144,164) 3rd Answer This incident is characteristic of the Prophet (peace be upon him). If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had not been distinguished, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have performed the janaza in secret of the other Companions. Rashedin and other Companions also used to recite in Khulafa. But there is no evidence of janaza in absentia from anyone. Allama Illish, the Imam of the Maliki Madhhab, wrote: “It was a distinctive feature of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to perform the janaza in secret in Madinah. Because, despite the ummah being more interested in performing the janaza of the Prophet, he did not perform the janaza in secret. And the body of Najasi has been miraculously presented to the Prophet. As a result, the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw the body of Najasi in front of him and performed his janaza. For example, while the deceased is in front of the Imam, the Imam sees the deceased, but not many Muqtadis. And in this case, there is no disagreement about the validity of the prayer. ” (Manhul Jalil - 1 / 316-317). Shaykh Zakariya (may Allaah have mercy on him) wrote in the 4th reply: “It seems to me to be correct that Imam Bukhari (may Allaah be pleased with him) supported the Hanafi and Maliki views in this matter and indicated that he was al-Janazat al-Alas al-Sufuf. , Najasir's janaza was visible; Was not absent. And this is the famous interpretation of the two schools of thought (which supports the point in question). Therefore, in spite of the existence of Hadith, he did not establish the chapter "Al-Ghaybu Alas Safoof" i.e. "Funeral of the Missing Person". Moreover, Bukhari Sharif mentions in his policy No. 65 that no masala contradicts the opinion of Imam Bukhari (Rah.). (Hashiya Lamiud Darari Sharhul Bukhari - 2/122, Maktabatul Ashrafia Delhi). Therefore, it is understood that Imam Bukhari himself did not consider this hadith as a document of permissible janaza in secret. A ridiculous document and answer Many brothers present a ridiculous document to justify the janaza in absentia. They say that performing janaza in secret is a clear proof that it is permissible to say janaza in the janaza prayer. And since the janaza prayer is dua. And it mentions forgiveness for both the present and the absent, so it is understood that the janaza of the absent is also permissible. That is, janaza in absentia is valid. Answer: In fact, this document is a very ridiculous document. If the janaza in absentia becomes permissible because of the mention of the forgiveness of the absent person, then it will be permissible to perform the janaza of the living person on the same grounds. Because the dua of the janaza prayer is recited, Allahummamagfirli hayyina wa mayyyitina ”that is, O Allah! Forgive us, the living and the dead. Notice, the apology is first for the survivors. Then it is said "Wa shahidina o gayibina". If it is permissible to perform the janaza of a person who is absent because of the word "gayibina", then why is it not permissible to perform the janaza of a living person because of the word "hayyana"? In fact, this document is very ridiculous and stupid. However, from the above discussion, I hope that it has become clear that there is no evidence of janaza in absentia being proved by the Qur'an and Hadith and the deeds of the Companions. So this is completely abandoned. May Allah grant us the grace to be free from these rituals and to practice the religion properly. Amen. 7738353919
