Hazrat Dawood bin Abi Al-Qassaf says that I was with Hazrat Abu Qalabah at a funeral. When he performed the prayer, he returned. I said to him, "Are you leaving before permission?" He replied, "Are they rulers (and imposed) over us?"

Hazrat Abu Dawood Al-Tayalisi says that I asked Hazrat Abu Aqil, "Is it permissible for a person who is with a funeral procession to return (before completion)?" He replied, "No, but it is part of a man's modesty that he should not return without permission."

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There are two leaders who are not truly leaders. One is a woman who goes with a group for Hajj or Umrah and she becomes menstruating; now the group cannot depart until she becomes pure or gives them permission to leave while she is still impure. And the second is a man who goes with a funeral procession; now he cannot return until he is given permission or until the deceased is buried.

Hazrat Habib bin Abi Muhammad says that I was with Hasan at a funeral, then when people were given permission, I said to Hasan, "Permission has been given." Hasan said, "Is permission (necessary) for us?"

Hazrat Jabir says: Accompany the funeral procession as much as is apparent (possible) for you, and return when it becomes apparent (possible) for you.

It is narrated from Hasan in a similar manner.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that there are two people who, despite not being wealthy, are considered wealthy: If a person performs the funeral prayer, he should not return without permission; and if a woman (during the journey of Hajj) gets her menses on the Day of Sacrifice before performing Tawaf, then it is not permissible for them to leave without that woman's permission.
