Question
The Janaazah Salaat for the mayyit was performed at home. The womenfolk wanted to join in the Salaat, but I prevented them. Did I do right?
Answer
You acted correctly. However, if the males are only mahrams, then they may join in by standing at the back. But since there will be ghair mahrams as well, it will not be permissible for them to join the Janaazah Salaat.
