Question:
Among her questions, she says: Honorable Shaykh, I do not like to miss the rawatib and the sunnah (recommended practices), especially before the midday and afternoon prayers. Sometimes I am slightly late for the prayer time, and the people have already started praying in the mosques, or they have finished the prayer. Does the time for the rawatib remain for me to pray, given that I am a woman and I do not have a congregation?
Answer:
Yes, the time for the rawatib remains. So you should pray the pre-midday rawatib before the midday prayer, then pray the midday prayer; because you have no connection to the men’s congregation or the men’s prayer. So you pray the rawatib first, then you pray the midday prayer, then you pray the rawatib that follows it. Yes.
