The Ruling on Women Praying in Congregation at Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is a woman in her home who performs the congregational prayer with her daughters in one of the rooms, compulsorily, daily, for the five prayers. What is the ruling on this?
It is not obligatory for women to pray in congregation, neither in their homes nor in the mosques.But the scholars differed: Is the congregational prayer recommended for women in their homes, or is it not?So some of them said: The congregational prayer is recommended for them.
And some of them said: It is not recommended.
Let this woman look with her daughters: if their prayer in congregation is better because they wake up from sleep and pray together, and because their imam will be composed in the prayer and not hasten in a way that invalidates it, then in this case their prayer in congregation is better. And if this advantage is not achieved, let their prayer be in congregation sometimes and individually other times.
