Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman is asking, and she says: If a woman, or if a wife, is more proficient in reciting the Qur'an than her husband, is she allowed to lead him in voluntary prayer at home?

Answer:
No, a woman does not lead a man, and an Arab does not lead a non-Arab. Yes.
