Please provide the method of performing Salaat-ul-Janaaza with translation and translit of everything that needs to be recited. Also point out, how the recitations would differ based on sex and age.

Preferred (Mustahabb) way of carrying the Janazah (Hearse)

Our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said, 'that when a person who goes with a 'Janaaza', dies then the Angels will walk behind his Janaaza and Allah Ta'ala will descend His mercy upon his soul.' After putting the deceased in the coffin, it should be carried on the 'shoulders' from all four sides and everyone must keep changing so that everyone has the opportunity to help in carrying the deceased to the graveyard. You should walk quickly while carrying the Janaaza but not too quickly, so that the Janaazah will start moving. (Hidaaya 162)

While carrying the coffin, the deceased head must be towards the front, this is the Sunnat method. It is 'Makrooh' (undesirable) to stand up as a sign of respect on seeing a Janaazah.

The Sunnat method of carrying a Jansaaza is to lift the coffin from the front right side of the deceased, and carry on our right shoulder and walk at least ten steps. Then hold the rear side of the same side, and walk at least ten steps carrying the coffin on your right shoulder. After this hold the left side of the deceased, starting at the front of the coffin and carry it on your left shoulder for at least ten steps. Then hold the rear side of the same side, and carry on your left shoulder for at least ten steps. After this also keep carrying the Janazah in the same manner changing shoulders. It is better to walk behind the Janazah, but owing to the crowd or considering the facility of the people it is permissible to walk in front of the Janazah or the right or left of the Janazah.

Guidance:
1. It is permissible to carry the corpse of a deceased child (an INFANT or SMALL CHILD) in ones ARMS, individually by different person.

2. The people escorting the Janazah should remain silent (DO NOT ENGAGE IN WORLD TALK or AFFAIRS). It is MAKRUH to recite any Dua or Aayat of the Quraan aloud. But it is Mustahab (preferred) for them to recite La illaha Illallah softly and to worry in their HEARTS about what will happen to the deceased in the grave. (Bahar 192/2, Tahtavi 332)

3. It is Makruh to sit down before putting the Janazah down.

4. When praying the Janazah Salah, the corpse's head should be at the right side and the feet towards the left side when facing the Qiblah.

5. If the Janazah is of a neighbour, relative or some pious (religious) person then it is better to go with the Janazah than to engage in Nafil Salah. (Alamgiri 162).

Janazah Salah
Our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said, "that one who prays the Janazah Salah, will earn the reward of one "Qeeraat" (one Qeeraat is equal to the mountain of UHUD) Sawaab, and when he goes to the graveyard and stays there until the burial is completed, he will earn the reward of two "Qeeraat" of Sawaab." (Abu Dawood 451).

The Janazah Salah is "FARDH KIFAAYAH on all Muslims present. It consists of FOUR TAKBEERS, THANA, DUROOD, and a MASNOON DUA for the deceased and TWO SALAAMS, all these are said SILENTLY by both the Imam and the Muqtadis (the people behind the Imam in Salah). Just the Imam should call out the TAKBEERS and SALAAM aloud.

THERE ARE TWO FARZ IN JANAZAH SALAH
1. To Stand and perform the Salah.

2. To recite all the FOUR TAKBEERS.

THE MASNOON MANNER OF PERFORMING THE JANAZAH SALAH
1. The body of the deceased should be placed with the head on the Right side of the Imam, who will face the Qiblah.

2. The Imam should stand in line with the CHEST of the deceased whilst performing the Salah.

3. It is MUSTAHAB to make an odd number of SAFS (rows). The Safs for Janazah Salah should be close to one another, because there are no Sajdahs to be made.

4. After the Safs are straightened the NIYYAT should be made thus: "I AM PERFORMING THIS JANAZAH SALAH FOR ALLAH BEHIND THIS IMAM". (The Janazah Salah being a Dua for the deceased). After the Niyyah the hands should be raised upto the EARS, and the Imam should say "ALLAHU AKBAR" loudly, and the Muqtadis softly, then fold them under the navel similar to all daily Salah.

5. Then recite THANA softly:

Subhaanaka allaahumma wa bihamdika wa tabaaraka ismuka wa ta'aala jadduka wa jalla thanaa-uka wa laal ilaaha ghayruka

Trans: Glory be to You Oh Allah, and praise be to You, and blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your Majesty, and there is none to be served besides You.

6. The Imam will then recite the Takbeer aloud and the Muqtadis softly for the second time. The hands should "Not" be raised when saying this and all subsequent Takbeers. The Duroode Ibrahim should now be recited:

Allaahumma salli alaa muhammadin wa alaa aali muhammadin kamaa sallayta alaa ibraaheema wa 'alaa aali ibraaheema innaka hameedun majeed. Allaahumma baarik 'alaa muhammadin wa 'alaa aali muhammadin kamaa baarakta 'alaa ibraaheema wa 'alaa aali ibraaheema innaka hameedun majeedun.

Trans: Oh Allah! Shower Your mercy upon Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the followers of Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy upon Ibrahim (Alayhis salaam) and the followers of Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam.) Behold You are Praise worthy, Glorious. Oh Allah! Shower Your blessings upon Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, as You showered Your blessings upon Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the followers of Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Behold You are Praise worthy, Glorious.

7. Thereafter the Takbeer should be said for the THIRD time, and the following Dua be recited for an adult male or female:

Allaahumma ighfir lihayyinaa, wa mayyitinaa, wa shaahidinaa, wa ghaa-ibinaa, wa sagheerinaa, wa kabeerinaa, wa dhakarinaa wa unthaanaa. Allaahumma man ahyaytahoo minnaa fa ahyihee 'alal islaam wa man tawaffaytahoo minnaa fatawaffahoo 'alal iemaan

Trans: Oh Allah! Forgive those of us that are alive and those of us that are dead; those of us that are present, and those of us who are absent; those of us that are young, and those of us that are adults; our males and our females. Oh Allah! Whomsoever of us You keep alive, let him live as a follower of Islam, and whomsoever You cause to die, let him die as a Believer."

For a child who has not reached the age of puberty the following Dua should be recited after the THIRD Takbeer:

1. Duaa for Boy

Allaahumma ij'alhu lanaa faratan, wa j'alhu lanaa ajran wa dhukhran wa j' alhu lanaa shaafi'an wa mushaffa'an.

2. Duaa for Girl

Allaahumma ij'alhu lanaa faratan, wa j'alhaa lanaa ajran wa dhukhran wa j' alhaa lanaa shaafi'atan wa mushaffa'atan

Trans: Oh Allah, make him/her (this child) a source for our salvation; and make him/her a source of reward and treasure for us; and make him/her an intercessor for us, and one whose intercession is accepted.

8. The Imam should say the FOURTH Takbeer and there after recite the Salaam aloud TWICE, while turning his face first towards the Right shoulder and then once again while turning his face towards the left shoulder. The Muqtadis should follow by saying the Takbeer and Salaam SOFRLY.

LATE COMERS TO THE JANAZAH SALAH
When a LATE COMER FEARS that if he engages himself in WUDHU, he will miss the Janazah Salah, then ONLY is it permissible for him to make TAYAMMUM and join the Jama'at. This applies to the Janazah Salah only.

Whomsoever arrived for the Janazah Salah after the Imam has recited ONE or more Takbeers; he should wait and join the Imam when he says the next Takbeer. After the Salaam he should complete the missed Takbeers by merely saying "Allahu Akbar" once for every Takbeer missed. NO Dua should be read. If the Imam has completed the FOURTH Takbeer then too, the late comer should join and complete all the missed Takbeers, (before the Imaam says the Salaam).

Guidance
1. If a child makes sound after the birth, or any part of the body moves, and then dies, a name should be given to the child and buried after Ghusal, Kafn and performing Janazah Salah, (Shami, Alamgiri).

2. Where the Janazah (Salah) Jama'at is held in the Masjid it is Makruh-e-tahrimi (not permissible) to pray Janazah Salah in the Masjid. Our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has said, "that whoever will pray Janazah Salah in the Masjid will not get any reward. (Hidayah 161, Alamgiri 165).

3. There are TWO FARZ (compulsory) obligations in Janazah Salah only.

(a) Four Takbeers, and

(b) Pray Salah standing. i.e. Salah will be "VALID" if four Takbeers are recited in a standing state, but if any Takbeer is missed then the Salah will be "VOID". The Duaa's that are recited in Janazah Salah are "SUNNAT". Hence one must commit the Du'aas to memory as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Alas it is a pity that some Muslim Brothers who perform their DAILY FIVE FARZ Salah, do not perform the Janazah Salah saying "THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PERFORM JANAZAH SALAH). Do we not recite THANA and DUROOD IBRAHIM in every Salah therefore there is only the THIRD Takbeer's Dua remaining, and this can be easily memorised with ALLAH SUBHANA WATALLAH'S help. So every Muslim Brother must pay heed to this, otherwise it will be regarded as if you have not fulfilled the right of your Muslim Brother/Sister by not performing the Janazah Salah for him/her.

4. If one has been buried without performing the Janazah Salah, then Janazah Salah "MUST BE PERFORMED BY THE DECEASED GRAVE WITHIN 3 DAYS". (Sahih Qaul). It is said that one must perform the Janazah Salah besides the deceased grave at least before the stomach of the deceased has burst. (Shami 826/1).

5. If you anticipate the danger of missing the Janazah Salah by performing WUDHU then in spite of water being available it is permissible to make "TAYAMMUM" but only for the Janazah Salah and not the DAILY FIVE FARZ Salah.
