The ruling on women going out to pray for the funeral in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Umm Abdullah, says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, we have noticed recently that women are frequently going to the mosques, especially the large congregational mosques, to pray for the deceased, whether the deceased is a woman or a man, a relative or someone else. What is the legal ruling in your view regarding this?

Answer:
This is a good thing if they go out to pray for the deceased, provided they are behind the men or in a separate area for them, and they are covered. Praying for the funeral with the men is a good thing, and they receive the reward for it just as the men do. Yes.
