Is praying with a woman considered a congregation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh. He asks about praying with a woman: is it considered a congregation?

Answer:
Praying with a woman, if there is no one else present and he has no congregation and no mosque, there is nothing wrong with him praying with his wife or a woman who is a mahram (a relative one may not marry), and that counts as a congregation, as some scholars have mentioned. If the woman is not a mahram, she stands behind him and not beside him. Yes.
