The ruling on women praying in congregation outside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! Is it better for women, if they are in one house for example, to perform the prayer in congregation with a woman leading them, or is it better for each of them to pray individually? And if congregation is better for them, is it permissible for the woman leading the women to recite aloud in the prayers where recitation is loud, or not? May Allah reward you with good.
There is scholarly disagreement regarding women praying in congregation in their homes; some say: it is a recommended practice,And among them are those who say: while others say it is not a recommended practice. The more apparent view is that it is not a recommended practice, but if they do it occasionally, there is nothing wrong with it, as is the case now in girls' schools where the teachers gather and pray in congregation; this is permissible occasionally. And if it happens that the prayer is at night, there is no harm in reciting aloud if no man hears it.
