         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Supplicating for the deceased after the third Takbir. If the deceased is adult, whether man or woman, the Salah-performer should say in supplication: Allahumma-gfirlihayyinawamayyitina, washahidinawagaibina, wasagirinawakabirina, wazakarinawaunth\u0304 \u0305ana. Allahumma man ahyaitahu minna fa-ahyihi al-alislami, wa man tawaffaitahu minna fatawaffahu al-aliman.

          1. He should end the Salah by performing the ending Salam after the fourth Takbir. He should not raise his hands except at the time of the first Takbir. It is desirable that the number of Salah-rows be three, five, seven, or some other odd number. [See: Al-Fiqhul Muiyassar by Shafiqur Rahman Nadvi, page:176-177, publisher: Azhar Academy Ltd.]<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \u201cThe prayer is offered by pronouncing a Takbir followed by praise of God. This is followed by a Takbir after which prayers and blessings are to be read for the prophet. Thereafter, a Takbir is pronounced followed by supplication for himself, for the deceased, and for the Muslims in general. After this, a fourth Takbir is pronounced, and the salutation is made. The person who prays over a man or woman is to stand in front of the chest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
