Funeral Prayer - Salatul Janazah
Salatul Janzah is Fard Kafayah, that is, if one prays the prayer than all are bareeuz zimma [free of the responsiblity] otherwise all those who received the news but did not come are sinners. Jammat is not a condition for this prayer, it is sufficient even if one person prays, and to deny the fardiat, compulsion, of this salah is kufr, an act of disbelief.
There are two parts of this Salah:
1. To say Allahu Akbar four times
2. Qayam which was three Sunnat Mukeda: Sana, Durood Shareef, and Duaa for the deceased
