Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to accompany the funeral of her husband or her son? And when this funeral reaches the gate of the cemetery, she departs with her mahram and does not enter.

Answer:
Women do not accompany funerals. They pray for the deceased in the mosque, or they pray for her alone, or with other women. As for accompanying funerals, no, they do not accompany funerals. Yes.
