The Ruling on Women Praying in Mosque Annexes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We received another message from al-Bahah from the sister Umm Jamal. She says: There is an annex in some mosques where women perform their prayers, but they cannot see the imam or the congregation. Is their prayer valid with the mosque imam? And what is required of them in this case? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the annex is inside the rear or in a back floor above the first floor, the important thing is that it is at the back of the mosque from the inside, then the prayer is valid even if they do not see the imam; hearing the voice is sufficient. However, if the annex is outside the mosque, then in addition to hearing the imam, it is necessary to see him or see those behind him through windows, openings, an open door, or otherwise. Yes.
