What is the ruling on a man praying behind women in crowded places?

Question : Honorable Shaykh, it is observed that some men line up behind women in the obligatory prayer. Is their prayer accepted? And is there any guidance for them?

Answer : If men pray behind women, the scholars say there is no harm, but this is contrary to the Sunnah, because the Sunnah is for women to be behind the men. However, as you see in the Sacred Mosque, there is often crowding and tightness, so women come and line up, and men come after them and line up behind them. But a person should be cautious about this as much as he can.
Because it may lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for the men, so a person should avoid praying behind women, even though this is permissible according to what the jurists have established. But we say that a person should avoid this as much as possible. Likewise, women should also not pray in a place that is close to men. No, no, he is asking about women who pray in front of men. I am not saying anything; I am answering the question that was presented to me. If an answer was given to a question on this topic, then a question was presented on this topic. Let’s go.
