The 'iddah woman going out to pray the funeral prayer for her husband in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Is it permissible for a woman whose husband has died and who is in the waiting period to go out to the mosque to pray over her husband?
The Shaykh:
No, pray for him while he is in your house. It is not a funeral prayer that is restricted to the mosque. Pray for him while he is in your house. It is permissible for a group to gather and pray for him as a congregation; there is no obstacle to this. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a woman in 'iddah going out to work at night, such as a doctor?
The Shaykh:
She prays for him, meaning over his body. In fact, before he is removed from the house, she should pray for him once he has been washed and shrouded. She and any women she wishes should pray for him before he is taken out of the house.
