Respect others' decisions and beliefs when it comes to funerals or other matters of faith .

This hadith from Umm 'Atiyya states that it is not necessary to follow a bier or funeral procession, but it is permissible. This means that if someone wishes to join the procession and pay their respects, they are allowed to do so. However, this does not mean that everyone must join in the procession as it is not mandatory. The hadith also teaches us about respecting other people's decisions and beliefs when it comes to funerals and other matters of faith. We should respect those who choose not to participate in such activities as well as those who do choose to take part in them.
