The ruling on a woman following the imam of the mosque from her home if she can hear the voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the ruling if a woman prays in her home with the congregation in the mosque, where the mosque is adjacent to the home and she hears the prayer clearly from the home? Is it permissible for her to pray with the congregation in her home, or must she go to the mosque if she wants to pray with the congregation? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to pray in her home and follow the imam, because she does not see him and does not see any of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), and she is outside the mosque, not in the mosque. So she prays alone and does not pray with the imam, because she is separated from him; she does not see him and does not see any of the ma'mum, and she is not in the mosque, but rather outside the mosque. And if she wants to pray with the imam, she goes out, enters the mosque, and prays behind the men or with the women if there is a women's prayer area. Yes.
