The questioner : He asks in his second question, Saif al-Din Mahjub: Is it permissible for elderly women to attend the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh : The answer is yes, it is permissible for them, provided that they go out in the manner prescribed by the Shari'ah, not wearing perfume and not displaying their adornment, and that they be in a place separate from the men or far from them, such that they do not mix with the men. Also, they should hasten to leave after the imam's taslim so that they exit before the people, before the men, and before the crowding.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If they pray Friday with the imam, it is valid for them, and the obligation of the Zuhr prayer is dropped from them.
The questioner : Zuhr.
