Fiqh Jenazah: The Final Journey
A workshop to help you fulfil the communal obligation (fardu kifayah) of caring for loved ones at the end of life — with spiritual guidance, proper etiquette and correct procedure, based on the Quran, the Sunnah and the explanations of the fuqaha.
Course outline
Six modules and a practical session
The reality of life and death
Remembering death, the appointed term, and why death is mentioned before life.
When health deteriorates
Ageing and frailty, and recognising the signs that death is near (nazak).
As death approaches
Talqin, recitation, facing the Qiblah, comfort, dignity and a calm environment.
When death happens
Four situations in Singapore, documents, family to-do list, bathing, shrouding and Solat Jenazah.
After death
Etiquette of visiting, condolences, grief, accompanying the jenazah and deeds for the deceased.
Islamic estate planning
Faraid, hibah, nazar, wasiat, nomination, wakaf and LPA.
Also covered: stillbirths, body parts, exhumation, Solat Ghaib and common misconceptions.
We also run Islamic palliative care talks and fiqh pesakit classes — see our work with mosques and hospices.
