Question : Regarding the best rows for women: the last ones in our time, when women are sometimes separated from the women.
Answer : Yes, this is a pertinent question. It says:Sunan Abi Dawud 678Sahih (Al-Albani). This was in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), where there was no barrier between the men and the women. As for our time, in many mosques the women have a special prayer area or a barrier between them and the men. So we say that in this case, the best rows for the women are the first ones, just as they are for the men.
Answer : Yes, this is a pertinent question. It says:
the best of the men’s row is the first and the worst of them is the last, but the best of the women’s rows is the last and the worst of them is the first.
