The Woman's Position in Her Prayer with Her Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it obligatory for a woman to pray in congregation with her husband standing beside him, or is it permissible for her to stand behind him?
Answer:
No, his wife prays with him in his row, meaning there is no harm in that. However, if a woman who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) prays with him, she should stand behind him. There is scholarly disagreement on this, but she should stand behind him.
