The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In yesterday's lesson, we learned that the congregational prayer is valid with a boy and a man, and it is also valid with a woman and a man. His question is: Is the congregational prayer also valid with a boy and a woman?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
We learned that the congregational prayer is valid with a boy and a man, and it is valid with a woman and a man. So, is the congregational prayer also valid with a boy and a woman?
The Shaykh:
This is what has been reported; there is no evidence for it. If it were valid with a boy and a man, or with a woman and a man, evidence would have been reported for that. As for a boy with a woman, this has not come to my knowledge; no evidence has been reported for it.
