English translation

3167. It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "We were forbidden to follow the Janāzah, but this was not emphasized." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3167 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: «نُهِينَا أَنْ نَتَّبِعَ الْجَنَائِزَ، وَلَمْ يُعْزَمْ عَلَيْنَا»

Commentary

It is certainly better that women do not follow the Janāzah. If they do, they must fulfill all the requirements of Sharī'ah in this regard, meaning that there be no violation of the rules of Hijāb, no demonstration of impatience and no wailing or show of mourning.
