Women Praying in Congregation with a Single Prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A group of women prayed in congregation, so she prostrated only once, then sat for the tashahhud, and did not alert them during the prayer. They want the answer now: do they have to repeat their prayer or not?
Answer:
And she was their imam, so she prostrated only once, and sat for one prostration. Was it a prostration from the prayer or a prostration of forgetfulness? If it was a prostration from the prayer, then the prayer must be repeated, because she left out a pillar and the interval was long, so the prayer must be repeated. But if it was one prostration for forgetfulness, then the prostration for forgetfulness is valid even if the interval is long.
The presenter:
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him. Yes.
