Prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw) is not prescribed for the funeral prayer (salat al-). If a takbir (utterance of "Allahu Akbar") is intentionally omitted, the prayer is invalidated. If it is omitted unintentionally due to forgetfulness, the prayer may be repeated, provided a long time has not elapsed.
