Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view on praying the evening prayer in the separate row in the mosque’s observation area on the grounds that the imam cannot be seen, and it has become the custom for women to be in the rows of the men?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if we hear the takbir and their location is inside the mosque. If we hear the takbir, there is nothing wrong, even if the imam and those behind him do not see us. Hearing the takbir inside the mosque is sufficient. Yes.
