How a man leads a woman in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...In how a man leads a woman in prayer?
The Shaykh : Do you mean a non-mahram woman, or do you mean the wife?
The questioner : The wife.
The Shaykh : In any case, the wife is like a non-mahram woman in terms of the row; she should stand behind the man, behind her husband. If she is alone, it is not permissible for her to stand beside her husband on the grounds that she is his wife; no, rather she must stand behind her husband completely. And it is even more necessary that she stand in that position if she is a non-mahram to him, of course, provided there is no seclusion, even during the prayer. Yes.
