The Funeral Prayer (Salat Al-Janazah)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 26
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا وُجِدَ اَلرَّجُلُ قَتِيلاً فَإِنْ وُجِدَ لَهُ عُضْوٌ مِنْ أَعْضَائِهِ تَامّاً صُلِّيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ دُفِنَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ عُضْوٌ تَامٌّ لَمْ يُصَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ دُفِنَ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “If a man is found killed and one of his limbs is found intact, a funeral prayer should be offered over it, and it should be buried. If no complete limb is found, no funeral prayer is offered, but it should still be buried”.
