Salaatul Hadiye Mayyat

Salaatul Hadiye Mayyit means the salaah that is recited whose reward is gifted to a deceased person/s.

This salaah can be done at any time, as many times, and for as many deceased people as possible. (Unlike the Salaatul Wahshat which can be done only for one person at a time.)

Salaatul Hadiye Mayyit can be recited like the fajr prayer; only the niyyah (intention) changes.

However, it is better to recite this salaah in the method taught by Imam Ja‘far as-Sãdiq (a.s.) as follows:

1st Rak‘ah: Surah al-Fatihah and then Surah al-Qadr once.

2nd Rak‘ah: Surah al-Fatihah and then Surah al-Kawthar once.
