The ruling on women consistently praying in congregation at home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How can women pray in congregation at home if that is permissible?
The Shaykh:
If it is facilitated for them, that is better. It is reported from Umm Salim and Aisha that they used to pray in two congregations at the bridge. So if it is facilitated for the woman of the house to pray with her sisters, daughters, or maids, that is good. She stands in the middle of them, and they are arranged to her right or to her left.
The questioner:
What? And if she is sufficient, she raises her voice in the recitation and the takbir so that everyone learns and everyone benefits.
The Shaykh:
Good, may Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Do you advise the mother of the daughters to do that in her house, Your Eminence the Shaykh?
The questioner:
A calamity, a calamity, if she has knowledge. And if her daughters are more knowledgeable than her, then the most knowledgeable of them or her sisters should lead. Good, it is tied to the mother of them, the most knowledgeable and the most learned of them.
The Shaykh:
So Your Eminence does not see any harm in women praying in congregation?
The presenter:
It is recommended, recommended. If it is facilitated, it is recommended.
The Shaykh:
May Allah bless you.
The questioner:
There is a great benefit in it, and it is the great reward.
The Shaykh:
Allahu Akbar, may Allah reward you with good. Some of your brothers do not see that, Your Eminence the Shaykh. So what is the guidance regarding the question?
The presenter:
And among them, there is no harm in it.
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that...
The presenter:
From the evidence, it was cared for and established.
The Shaykh:
May Allah bless you, and may He do you good. Imams.
