The Ruling on Women Praying over a Deceased Person After His Washing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some of the deceased’s female relatives, including his wives, daughters, and granddaughters, wish to pray over him immediately after he is washed. The body is brought and placed in front of them in the courtyard of the house, and then they pray the funeral prayer over him. Is there any harm in this?
Answer:
No, that is fine, but if they go to the mosque and stand behind the men and pray with them behind the men over the deceased, that would be better. Yes.
