As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Attending the funeral of a Muslim is one of the rights that we owe to one another as Muslims.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever follows a funeral procession and offers the prayer for the deceased, will get one kerat 68 of reward. And whoever follows it and remains with it until the body is buried, will get two kerats of reward, the least of which is equal in weight to 'Mount Uhud' or he said 'one of them is like Uhud.' The narrator is not certain as to the exact words used by the Prophet, peace be upon him. [This is reported by the group. ]

In regards to can a man wear shorts, The `awrah (private parts to be necessarily covered) for men includes what is between the navel and the knees as stated by the Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him), so covering it is obligatory according to Islamic law. Wearing shorts that disclose the thighs or show the shape of the buttocks, does not cover the `awrah. But if the shorts are baggy and do not show these things and comes down and covers the knees then it is permisable.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
