Musnad Ahmad 409A Sahih hadith] (Darussalam)
"in the protection of Allah" include women?

Answer : This hadith, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
he who prayed the morning prayer in congregationمن صلى الصبح في جماعة
Sahih Muslim 656a
"he is in the protection of Allah the Exalted," is specific to men, because men are the ones addressed regarding the congregational prayer. As for the woman, it is better for her to pray in her house. Is it better, if she prays in her house, to pray in congregation with the women in the house? There is scholarly disagreement on this matter.
