Now I will explain the important thing about “how to perform Salatul Ghaib?”. I want you to understand that because there is not much difference between the regular Janazah prayer and Salatul Ghaib.
In general, the way to perform the Salatul Ghaib is the same as how to perform the regular Janazah prayer. The difference is niyyah to perform the two types of Janazah prayer. If we read Islamic legal literacy about Salatul Ghaib, then we will find an explanation that the niyyah to perform it is as follows:
If you are imam, the Janazah is male, and done indirectly
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ غَائِباً إِمَاماً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
I intend to pray for the corpse of this male with four takbir, fardlu kifayah, done indirectly, by becoming imam, because of Allah Taala.
If you are is makmum, the Janazah in male, and done indirectly
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ غَائِباً مَاْمُوْماً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
I intend to pray for the corpse of this male with four takbir, fardlu kifayah, done indirectly, by becoming makmum, because of Allah Taala.
If you are imam, the Janazah is female, and done indirectly
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذَهِ الْمَيِّتَةِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ غَائِباً إِمَاماً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
I intend to pray for the corpse of this femala with four takbir, fardlu kifayah, done indirectly, by becoming imam, because of Allah Taala.
If you are makmum, the Janazah is female, and done indirectly
أُصَلِّي عَلَى هَذَهِ الْمَيِّتَةِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيْرَاتٍ فَرْضَ الْكِفَايَةِ غَائِباً مَاْمُوْماً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى
I intend to pray for the corpse of this femake with four takbir, fardlu kifayah, done indirectly, by becoming prosperous, because of Allah Taala.
