Islamic Funeral

Comments

  • It is possible for women to attend a muslim funeral - please make sure you cover your head out of respect to dead/graveyard, please be modest with your clothes, no short skirts/dresses.
    Men usually bury the person and say prayers and stand for awhile.
    Women usually attend after men as long as they are not wailing/crying as this is unacceptable at muslim funerals.
    Hope this helps.
    I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
    Love generously, praise loudly, live fully :)

    Did he have any local Muslim friends? Do you know which mosque he ever used to attend? Could be worth asking them.

    My muslim colleague had never been to a funeral before her non-muslim grandfather-in-law died, and she wanted to go to support her DH.
