The ruling on a woman leaving her home during the waiting period to pray the funeral prayer for her husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a woman whose husband has died and who is in the waiting period to go out to the mosque to pray over her husband?

Answer:
No, she should pray for him while he is in her house. This funeral prayer is specific to the mosque, but she should pray for him while he is in her house. It is permissible for women to gather and pray for him in congregation; there is no obstacle. She should pray for him, meaning over his body. So, if she wishes, she can pray for him from the house. Once he has been washed and shrouded, she and any women she chooses should pray for him before he is taken out of the house. Yes.
