And because when it is permissible to intend by one's prayer and supplication the majority, it is permissible to intend the minority. What they have stated is invalidated by the case where one's sister becomes mixed with unrelated women, or a dead animal [permissible for consumption] with animals that were slaughtered [by non-Muslims]; the ruling is established for the minority, not the majority.

Section: If a dead person is found and it is not known whether he is a Muslim or a disbeliever, one looks to the signs, such as circumcision, clothing, and the use of henna. If there is no sign on him and he is in the Abode of Islam (Dar al-Islam), he is washed and the funeral prayer is performed over him.

In another narration, it says "in a state of talbiyah (responding to the call)." This is agreed upon (4). If it is said: This is specific
