Prayer over the absent Deceased is not something specific for the Messenger

Question :

Is it permissible for us to pray the funeral prayer for the absent deceased as the Prophet did with his beloved, An-Najashi, or is that something that is specifically for him?

Answer :

Prayer is permissible for the absent deceased due to the action of the Prophet. That is not something specifically for the Prophet . For verily, the Companions & prayed with him for An-Najashi. Also, the basic principle is lack of specification (Al-Khususiyyah). However, this should be specifically for whoever had some important status in Islam, and it is not for everyone. May Allâh send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
