The Book of Visiting the Sick
Participation in Funeral Prayer and Procession and the dislike of Women Participating in the Funeral Procession
وَعَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: نُهِينَا عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ، وَلَمْ يُعْزَمْ عَلَيْنَا" ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه)) . "ومعناه " ولم يشدد في النهي كما يشدد في المحرمات.
Umm Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: We (womenfolk) were prohibited from accompanying a funeral procession, but we were not compelled (not to do so). [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
