A woman praying over a deceased person in the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A woman has a deceased relative, and she wants to pray over him in the house. Is that permissible for her?

Answer:
One does not pray over a deceased person unless he has been washed and shrouded. So there is no harm in a woman praying over him. However, before the washing and shrouding, no.
