The Ruling on Women Praying in Congregation and the Position of Their Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. From the questions of the questioner from Yemen, he says: Is it permissible for women to pray in congregation at home? And which is better? And if we are more than three, where is the ma'mum positioned, on the right or on the left?
Answer:
Yes, it is recommended for women to pray in congregation, and their imam is positioned in the middle of them, not in front of them, whether in the house or in any place. If we gather, it is permissible for women to pray in congregation with one another, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Umm Warakah to lead the women in congregation in her house. Yes.
