Women Praying in Congregation at Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do a mother and her daughters pray in congregation at home, or does each one pray individually?
Answer:
There is no harm. If they pray in congregation, there is nothing wrong with it. If each one prays for herself, there is nothing wrong with that either. So, praise be to Allah. If they pray in congregation, they can learn from one another; the one among them who is most knowledgeable and best at recitation leads them. That is fine. And if each one prays for herself, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a broad matter; there is no obligation for women to pray in congregation. Yes.
