A Woman Praying over a Corpse and Attending the Funeral Procession

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view on a woman praying over a corpse and attending the funeral procession?

Answer:
Attending the procession, no. As for her praying over it, there is nothing wrong with it. She may pray over it alone, or with the men behind the men; there is no objection.
