The Permissibility of a Woman Leading Other Women in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible for a woman to lead other women in prayer?
It is permissible for women to pray in congregation; but is this a recommended practice for them, or is it merely permissible?Some scholars say: It is a recommended practice.
And some scholars say: It is merely permissible.
And the closer view is: It is merely permissible; because the Sunnah is not explicit on this point. So, if they establish the prayer in congregation, there is nothing wrong with it, and if they do not establish the prayer in congregation, they are not among those who pray in congregation.
