Placing the mayyit on a table for janaazah salaah
Question
Is it correct to place a mayyit (dead body) for salaatul janaazah on a table instead of on the ground? The table is permanently fixed to the ground in some places and is unfixed (like a movable normal table) in some places.
Answer
Place it on the ground.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
