Is it true that the congregant should respond to the muezzin's call for the funeral prayer by saying, "O Allah, forgive us and him"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The listener to the call for prayer over the deceased is not obligated to answer the caller with a supplication. However, if he supplicates for the deceased for forgiveness, there is no harm in it. Supplicating for the dead is desirable, but there is no evidence for answering the caller with a supplication.
