What is the ruling on a woman praying over a funeral?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You are asking about the funeral prayer for a woman, and whether it is permissible for her to pray the funeral prayer, especially since some people say that a woman should not pray the funeral prayer?
Answer:
What prevents it? A woman prays over the funeral with the men, or she prays over the funeral alone, or with women? It is prescribed for a woman to pray over the funeral and make du'a for the deceased, either with the men, or alone, or with women; there is no harm in that. The one who prevents this is an ignorant person who has no evidence.
