Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11885 — A man who performs the funeral

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: There are two commanders who are not really commanders. One is a woman who goes with a group for Hajj or Umrah and begins to menstruate; that group may not set off until she becomes pure and gives them permission. The other is a man who goes along with a funeral; he may not go back until he is given permission or until the deceased has been buried.
