Summary
The Prophet's funeral prayer was performed by people individually, one by one, with no one acting as imam. They entered the room in turns, ten at a time, and recited the takbir, prayed and made supplication. The order began with his family, then the Muhajirin and the Ansar, followed by the women and finally the children.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dan orang ramai mensolatkan Baginda sendiri-sendiri, seorang demi seorang. Tanpa ada seorang pun yang mengimamkan mereka.
