Women can pray Janaazah

Fatwaa ID: 1176

Question:
Assalaamualaikum. Can women pray Janazah salah?

Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Women can and should perform Janaazah Salaah. If they are at a place where Janaazah Salaah is being performed, they should join. They should not just stand around.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
