The ruling on a woman praying in front of another woman without a barrier

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. A woman asks: What is the ruling on a woman praying in front of another woman in the house without a barrier?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it. If a woman is praying and there is a woman behind her praying, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the woman is sitting and not praying, meaning she is directly in front of her face, it is disliked for a man to pray facing the face of a man sitting in front of him; he should turn to his right or left. But if she is praying behind his back, or if he is praying, does he not pray after that? Yes.

The questioner:
The other question is about the ruling.

The Shaykh:
And Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to sleep near the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was standing in the night prayer. She would lie across in front of him, and when he wanted to prostrate, he would nudge her, so she would move her legs, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would prostrate.وكانت عائشة رضي الله عنها تنام عند الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يقوم من الليل، وتعترض أمامه، فإذا أراد أن يسجد غمزها، فكفت برجليها، وسجد صلى الله عليه وسلم.
