Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from Britain says: Our congregation prayed the Eid prayer in the mosque, and because of the large number of attendees and the crowding, the women prayed in rooms that were in front of the imam. What is the ruling on their doing this?
Answer:
It is not permissible for anyone to be in front of the imam, whether men or women. The one who is praying must be behind the imam.
