What ibaadat should the females do when the mayyit is removed from the house for burial?

Answer

There is no Sunnat act of ibaadat for the women to do when the mayyit is about to be taken to the qabrustan (graveyard). However, it is haraam for them to appear in front of males as has become the practice at houses where there is a mayyit. The house people may recite Qur'aan Shareef and make dua for the mayyit. They should not organize any ceremonies or group forms of tilaawat. Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'aan should do so and ask Allah Ta'ala to forgive the mayyit and transfer the thawaab of the recital to the mayyit.
