He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding a woman who sits cross-legged and spreads out her garments while praying in her house, and no one sees her except her mahram relatives, is it to be disapproved of?
Answer:
It is not to be disapproved of. Also, the exception for women in these matters has no valid evidence. The correct view is that the woman is like the man, because the address is general. There is a discussion regarding the hadith that comes in this matter. Yes.
