The Ruling on a Woman Praying in Congregation with Other Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm 'Abdullah says: Does it require, Honorable Shaykh, for the Fajr prayer in congregation to be valid in order to attain the reward? What is the manner of a woman praying in congregation, in terms of standing with the women behind her and in terms of reciting aloud? And what if there is only one woman behind her? When a woman prays with men, she stands behind them, behind the rows, and follows the imam.

Answer:
with the congregation. If she prays with women, they form a row and she stands in the middle of them, in the middle of the row; this is the best. If she stands in front, there is no harm in that. She recites aloud if there are only women with her; she recites aloud to the extent that they can hear her. That is all. The imam is on the left and the woman behind her is on the right. Yes.
