وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الصَّيْقَلُ- سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع كَيْفَ تُصَلِّي النِّسَاءُ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَقُمْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي صَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ وَ لَا تَتَقَدَّمُهُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ قِيلَ فَفِي صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ أَ يَؤُمُّ بَعْضُهُنَّ بَعْضاً قَالَ نَعَمْ.

Hadith.479 - Al-Hasan ibn Ziyad al-Sayqal reported that Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about how women should perform the funeral prayer if no men are present. Imam (as) replied: "They should all stand together in a single row, and no woman should step forward as a leader." He was then asked if, during the obligatory (written) prayers, one woman may lead another. The Imam said: "Yes."
