Where should one look in Janaazah Salaah?
Question
Where should the gaze/sight be placed when praying Janaazah salah?
Why is there no ruku or sajdah in Janaazah salah?
Answer
1. One should lower the gaze since khushoo` is a requirement of salaah and du`aa. However, there is no clear text that we have come across.
2. This salaah is a du`aa.
And Allah Ta`ala knows best.
