How is the funeral prayer performed for more than one deceased person?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If, God forbid, two people pass away, one a woman and the other a man, is it permissible to perform a single funeral prayer for both of them?

Answer:
Yes, if there is a man and a woman, or men or women, the prayer is performed for all of them, and this is better. The men are placed on the imam’s side, and the women on the qiblah side, with the center of the woman aligned with the head of the man, and the prayer is performed for all of them.
