Question

I am a revert Muslim woman. Why can't I attend the funeral of my non-Muslim parents?

Answer

Sister, when Muslim ladies are not allowed to attend the funerals of even their Muslim parents and Muslim children and husbands,, how can it ever be permissible for a Muslim woman to attend the funeral of her non-Muslim parents? The Shariah is clear: it is not permissible to attend the funerals of non-Muslims nor is it permissible for Muslim women to attend funerals of even their Muslim parents.
