“The du`a subhanaka with ‘wa jalla thanâuka” -the islamic judicial background of a practice

In this article, the Islamic judicial basis and the background of the practice regarding performing funeral prayer in our country is dealt with. In religious teaching, when taught the du`a “Subhanaka”, it is mentioned that the part “wa jalla thanâuka” is said only in funeral prayer and it is said just before the prayer and after the first takbeer along with “wa jalla thanâuka of the du`a subhanaka”. However, the sentence “wa jalla thanâuka” has been narrated through an unacknowledged way in terms of hadith and fiqh sciences. Some of the first period scholars stated that there is no order or prohibition about whether or not it is said in all prayers; some others claimed that it can be said only in some supererogatory prayers; some asserted that it should be abandoned and some others mentioned that saying it is makruh. However, Ibrahim Halebî, after he indicated that the du`a is said only in funeral prayer, added a new dimension on the issue and then narrative-based judgements have simply kept in the shade
