Is there a difference between women and men in prostration during prayer?

The questioner : Questions about women, or from women. The questioner says: Is there a difference between women and men in prostration during prayer?

The Shaykh : There is no difference between women and men in prostration, nor in bowing, nor in sitting. Men are like women, except that women do not raise their voices in speech. That is, it is not a recommended practice (sunnah) for a woman to raise her voice in prayer, even in night prayer. Likewise, if the imam makes a mistake, they do not say tasbih but clap their hands, because tasbih is for men and clapping is for women. The principle is that men and women are equal in the rulings of Allah the Exalted, unless there is evidence for differentiation. This is a guideline, or if you wish, a rule that a Muslim can benefit from: "The principle is that men and women are what? Equal in the rulings of Allah and the Shari'ah of Allah, unless there is explicit evidence indicating differentiation between men and women". Therefore, if someone falsely accuses a chaste man of zina, is he flogged eighty lashes? Yes, he is flogged, even though the verse is about women: And the scholars agreed that falsely accusing a chaste man is like falsely accusing a chaste woman, because the principle is that men and women are equal in the Shari'ah of Allah. Yes.
