The Funeral Prayer (Salat Al-Janazah)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 26
وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا لَمْ يَحْضُرِ اَلرِّجَالُ اَلْمَيِّتَ تَقَدَّمَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَسَطَهُنَّ وَ قَامَ اَلنِّسْوَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَ شِمَالِهَا وَ هِيَ وَسَطُهُنَّ تُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ.
Jabir said : Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "If no men are present for the deceased, a woman should step forward and stand in the middle, with the other women positioned on her right and left, and She should lead by reciting the takbirs until the prayer is completed."
