Question:
He says: We have, I mean, my mother, I mean my elderly grandmother, who sometimes follows the imam in the mosque, even though there is a road between us and the mosque, in the tarawih prayer. She sometimes goes out in the courtyard and prays behind him and makes du'a' with him in the qunut. Is her prayer valid?
Answer:
No, it is not valid. A road has come between them, and the rows are not connected to the mosque. So she should not pray behind the imam; she should pray alone. Yes.
