Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does a woman pray behind the imam in the mosque if she cannot see the imam or the congregation? For example, if she enters the mosque during a quiet prayer and the imam has already finished the first rak'ah, she does not know whether he is in prostration or bowing.
Answer:
If the woman or the worshipper is in the mosque, it is sufficient for him to hear the imam's voice, even if he does not see him. It is sufficient to hear the imam's voice and bow and prostrate with him by the sound, provided he is inside the mosque. However, if he is outside the mosque, two conditions are required: the continuity of the rows, and the second is that he sees the imam or those behind him so that he can follow them. Yes.
