What is the ruling on reciting Al-Fatihah in the funeral prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Obligatory; because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Pray as you have seen me praying," and he (peace be upon him) also said: "There is no prayer for one who does not recite the Opening of the Book (Surat Al-Fatihah)."
