Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I heard one of the female preachers issue a fatwa stating that it is not permissible for women to go to the mosque to pray over a funeral, because that is a religious innovation (bid'ah) with no basis. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
It is a religious innovation (bid'ah) because she does not know it, because she does not know it, and whatever she does not know becomes a religious innovation (bid'ah). No. But the Muslim women used to pray over the dead individually, and they would pray with the men, behind the men, and the matter remained so among the Muslims. So there is no harm in going to the mosque to a special place for women, or being behind the men and praying over the funeral. Yes.
