    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 859/859=J)

    In janazah salah, there is no qirat neither loud nor soft; this is the mazhab of Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Malik. In Sahaba Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf, Hazrat Abu Hurairah and Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar while among Taabein Ata, Taoos, Saeed bin Musayyib, Saeed bin Jubair, Muhammad bin Sirin, Shaabi, Hakam, Mujahid, Ibrahim, Hammad, Abul Aaliyah and Sufyan Sauri had the same opinion. The people of Medina also acted accordingly: قال الامام مالک: قرأۃ الفاتحۃ لیست معمولاً بھا فی بلدنا فی صلاۃ الجنازۃ (For more details, see Umdatul Qari: 8/139-141 and Awjazul Masalik: 2/456)
