Fatwa #54827 August 2000Pakistan

How should the Janazah be positioned when praying?

Question

For example, should the head of the mayyit (dead) be the right or left of the Imaam facing the Qibla? Is the positioning of a male mayyit (dead) different from that a female?

Answer

The head should be on the right of the Imaam. The Imaam will stand in line with the heart of a male and female.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
