Someone who performs ṣalāt al‑mayyit in congregation must also perform the takbīrs and recite the duʿāʾs even if he is a follower in the prayer [as opposed to being the imam of the prayer]. [1] Takbīr is a proclamation of Allah’s greatness by saying ‘allāhu akbar’. [2] The changes in this ruling relate to the duʿāʾ that is recited after the fourth takbīr. Some words which were not there in the previous edition of Islamic Laws have been added. These words are underlined.
