The Permissibility of Congregational Prayer for Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a large number of women gather, whether in a rest area, in the open, or at a family gathering, is it better for the prayer to be congregational, or should each woman pray individually?

Answer:
Both are permissible. It is permissible for women to pray separately, and it is permissible for them to gather behind one of them who prays with them, or for her to be in their row. Both are permissible. Yes.
