The Ruling on a Woman Praying the Midday Prayer at Home Before the Friday Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory for a woman to wait for the imam to finish the Friday sermon so that she can pray, or should she pray at home? What is the ruling if she prays the midday prayer at home before the imam delivers the sermon in the mosque?
Answer:
A woman prays at the time that is convenient for her; she is not bound by the imam or the mosque. If she feels that waiting to hear the sermon will benefit her, that is a good thing. If she prays and does not listen, there is nothing wrong with it. The matter is broad in her case, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
