Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A house contains more than one girl, and each of them prays alone. What is the ruling on congregational prayer for them, since some scholars have said it is obligatory for them to establish it?
Answer:
I do not know of any scholar who said that congregational prayer is obligatory for women. It is never obligatory for them. They have the choice: if they wish, they may pray individually, each one on her own; and if they wish, they may pray in congregation, and there is no harm in that. As for it being obligatory, no.
