The funeral prayer is prescribed for everyone, men and women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to pray over a funeral, or not?
A: The funeral prayer is prescribed for everyone, for men and women. She may pray over the funeral at home or in the mosque; all of this is permissible. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and the women prayed over Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) when he passed away in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The point is that the funeral prayer is prescribed for everyone. What is prohibited is their visiting graves and following funeral processions. However, there is nothing wrong with their praying over the deceased at home, in the mosque, in the prayer hall, or in the home of his relatives. The women used to pray over funerals behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and behind the Rightly Guided Caliphs. And success is from Allah.
