The Shaykh al-Islam's statement on a woman leading a man in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) held that it is valid for a woman to lead a man in prayer if she is more proficient in recitation than he is?
Answer:
I have not seen this from Shaykh al-Islam; I have not seen it from Shaykh al-Islam. But at this time, are they elevating the status of women? It is not unlikely for them to do so, for they now make women lead prayers in mosques, because they have now entered them into all matters of men. Yes.
