The ruling on supplicating for a husband in the funeral prayer for a woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the deceased is a woman, one does not say, "May we have been granted a good husband."
The Shaykh:
Rather, it is the man who is given the choice of a husband from among his wives. Yes. It is reported in hadiths that she is given the choice, though there is some discussion on this. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned them in the context of the tombs, placing her in the middle. She may have had many husbands, and Allah knows best. Is she given the choice, or is she with her last husband? Allah knows best. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah grant you success.
