Question:
Is it permissible for my wife to pray alone behind me, or for my brother’s wife to be with her, if we are living in a shared residence? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is permissible for women to follow a man in prayer, but they must stand behind him. Even if there is only one woman, she does not stand beside him, but rather behind him. The position of women is always behind the men, whether there is one woman or more. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
