The ruling on a man praying in a row with only a woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Or a woman, meaning no one stood with him except a woman.

Answer : Then it is fard. It is fard, because a woman is not among those who stand in rows with men. Now, if a woman stands with two men, is their prayer valid? Yes, it is valid if she stands with them. Yes, yes. Line up, line up. It is valid. So the prayer is valid, especially out of necessity, as happens during the Hajj season, when a woman may be standing next to you. But in this case, if you feel something, you must separate yourself. Because some people cannot bear to have a woman who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) standing next to them, especially if she is, for example, young or has an enticing scent; they may not be able to pray. In this case, he has the right to leave and seek another place.
