The Ruling on Women Praying the Sunnah in Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asking says that she and three other girls in the school used to pray the midday prayer in congregation, and also the sunnah (recommended practice) after the midday prayer in congregation. Does women receive the reward of congregation or not? And is it permissible for them to say that they pray the sunnah in congregation?
Answer:
The sunnah, no, that is a mistake. Each one should pray individually. As for the midday prayer or the obligatory prayer, if they pray it in congregation, that is better than them being scattered. Yes.
