Women must have the aforementioned knowledge, as they may be required to prepare and bury the deceased if there are no men to do so. And Allah [S.W.T.] knows best. And Allah says in the Qu'oran: "Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch, as they were steadfast; and they verily are the triumphant. He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years? They will say: We tarried but a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep count!
