Question : A man is gathered in a funeral and he placed it. Where is the woman positioned?
Answer : Yes, if men and women, and children and adults, are gathered, the man is placed in front, closest to the qiblah, and the woman is placed behind him, closest to the qiblah, with the center of the woman aligned with the head of the man. If children and adults are gathered, the adults are placed in front, closest to the qiblah, and the children are placed behind them, closest to the qiblah. If a male child and an adult woman are gathered, the child is placed in front, closest to the qiblah, and the woman is placed behind him, closest to the qiblah, because this is how their rows are arranged in the prayer.
