Participation in Funeral Prayer and Procession and the dislike of Women Participating in the Funeral Procession

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whosoever attends the funeral of a Muslim believing and hoping for the reward from Allah and remains with it until the prayer is offered over it and the burial is completed, he will return with a reward of two Qirat; each Qirat is equivalent to Mount Uhud; and whosoever offers his prayer over it and returns before its burial, he will come back with one Qirat."

[Al-Bukhari].

وعنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: "من اتبع جنازة مسلم إيماناً واحتساباً، وكان معه حتي يصلى عليها ويفرغ من دفنها، فإنه يرجع من الأجر بقيراطين كل قيراط مثل أحدٍ، ومن صلى عليها، ثم رجع قبل أن تدفن ، فإنه يرجع بقيراط” ((رواه البخاري)).

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].

وعن أم عطية رضي الله عنها قالت: نهينا عن اتباع الجنائز، ولم يعزم علينا" ((متفق عليه)) . "ومعناه " ولم يشدد في النهي كما يشدد في المحرمات.
