Q3: Is it permissible for women to pray over the deceased?
A3: It is prescribed for women to pray over the deceased, whether they are alone or behind the men; due to the generality of the evidence, and because supplication for the deceased is required of Muslims, both men and women. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
