Question

An ignoramus told me that a hadith says that if you never get married, your funeral or janaza will be invalid. Does a hadith exist in any collection that mentions this or something similar to this? If so, please give the reference and explanation of it?

Answer

This is incorrect.

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.
