Ṣalāt al-Janāzah (Arabic: صلاة الجنازة) is the Islamic funeral prayer performed for a deceased Muslim. It is performed in congregation to seek pardon for the deceased and all dead Muslims, and is a communal obligation (farḍ al-kifāya) upon all able-bodied Muslims; meaning if some Muslims take the responsibility of conducting the prayer, then the obligation is fulfilled, but if this obligation is not fulfilled by anyone, all Muslims will be accountable.
