The traveler praying in congregation with his women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I am traveling with my family and we are on the road, is it permissible for me to pray in congregation with me and the women who are with me?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If I am traveling with my family and we are on the road and we want to pray, is it permissible for me and the women who are with me to pray in congregation?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with a woman following a man in prayer, but it does not constitute a congregation; this is only for you to see, but she must be behind him. Even if she is his wife, his mother, or his sister, she does not line up beside him; she lines up behind him, because the position of a woman in prayer is behind the man. He prays his prayer, and this is only in the category of following or in the category of congregational prayer. A congregation is not established except with two men or more.
