Is it permissible for women to pray over the deceased in the house?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Another question from one of the listeners, who asks: Do women pray over the deceased in the house after he has been washed and shrouded, or is this a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with women praying over the deceased, whether they are with the men behind them, or she prays over the deceased alone, or with a group of women praying over the deceased in the house or in the mosque. Yes.
