Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to pray the witr prayer in congregation with my family at home every day?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Pray the witr in your home; that is better. Pray whatever you can of the night prayer before the witr, and conclude with the witr. If your family prays with you, that is good. Follow you as the imam, so there is nothing wrong with that. This is not a matter of congregation (jama'ah), but rather a matter of following (iqtida'). A woman does not form a congregation with a man. The minimum for a congregation is two men or more. So if a woman prays behind her husband, her brother, or her mahram, this is not a matter of congregation, but only following.
