<![CDATA[Funeral management is one of the communal religious obligations (fardhu kifayah) that has both religious and social dimensions in Muslim community life. Mastery of this competence is important to ensure that funeral rites can be properly performed and are not dependent solely on certain individuals. Based on initial observations conducted during the Community Service Program (KKN) in Jorong Kuran-Kuran, some community members had limited competence in funeral management, particularly in washing and shrouding the deceased. Although the community demonstrated social concern whenever a death occurred, the technical procedures were generally entrusted to experienced individuals. This condition encouraged the implementation of funeral management training for women participating in the Yasinan Islamic study group. The activity aimed to improve participants' knowledge and practical skills through theoretical instruction, demonstrations, memorization of funeral prayer recitations, practical exercises, and mentoring. The training was conducted in five meetings on June 13, 15, 20, 25, and 29, 2026. Approximately eight participants attended the initial meeting, while participation in subsequent meetings decreased to four or five participants because some participants had agricultural activities. The training covered preparation of equipment, shrouding, memorization of funeral prayer recitations, and comprehensive practice from washing and shrouding to performing the funeral prayer. The results indicated that participants who completed the training were able to practice the main stages of funeral management. This achievement was further demonstrated by their participation in a funeral management competition organized by the Wali Nagari of Nan Limo, where they obtained first place. The activity demonstrates that gradual, practice-based training can serve as a community empowerment strategy for expanding local capacity in performing fardhu kifayah.]]>
