A woman following the imam while she is in her home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O Allah, send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. What is the ruling on a woman following the imam while she is in her home?
Answer:
Because she does not see the imam and does not see the congregation, it is not permissible for a woman, nor for anyone else, to pray outside the mosque, even if she hears the imam's voice. This is because she does not see him and does not see those behind him. Hearing the voice alone is not sufficient. Hearing the voice is only sufficient if the one praying is in the mosque. If the one praying is in the mosque, it is valid for him to follow the imam even if he does not see him or see those behind him, because he is in the mosque. But whoever is outside the mosque does not pray with the imam unless he sees him or sees those behind him, in addition to hearing his voice. Yes.
