Participation in Funeral Prayer and Procession and the dislike of Women Participating in the Funeral Procession
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : “مَنْ شَهِدَ اَلْجِنَازَةَ حتي يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ ، وَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا حتي تُدْفَنَ، فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ" قِيلَ: وَمَا اَلْقِيرَاطَانِ؟ قَالَ: “مِثْلُ اَلْجَبَلَيْنِ اَلْعَظِيمَيْنِ” ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)) .
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever follows the funeral procession and offers the funeral prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever attends it till burial, will get a reward equal to two Qirat.'' It was asked, "What are two Qirat?'' He (ﷺ) replied, "Equal to two huge mountains." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
