A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from woman of al-Hassan al-Sayqal from al-Hassan al-Sayqal who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about women’s performing Salah (prayer) for deceased people if there is no man present among them.

He (the Imam) said, ‘They all line up and no one of them stands up in front of others.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/42))
