Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a wisdom behind the imam and the one praying alone standing in the middle of a woman and at the chest of a man when praying over them?
Answer:
There is nothing clear here. They say the head of the man because it is the place of intellect and thought, and the middle of the woman to cover her from those behind him. Allah knows best.
