Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...This is from some of the young men in Egypt... they gifted us these tapes...
The Shaykh : ...Is it not possible for him for every prayer...
The questioner : Of course, it is possible for him.
The questioner : Repeat the question again.
The questioner : What is the ruling on women praying in congregation at home?
The Shaykh : Your Eminence.
The questioner : And making it a habit, is there no harm?
The Shaykh : There is no harm.
The questioner : When a woman is busy or has free time... I mean, we end up intending the congregation, they pray the congregation with the children, in fact, something has occurred to me, I want to know about the continuation of this and its regularity?
The Shaykh : I am sharing with you that they are not going to be able to continue, so do not worry.
The questioner : By Allah, up to now they are going, of course, there is no doubt that a phase or something might pass.
The Shaykh : Because the encouragement of the congregation, you are not unaware of the general texts in it, which have no relation to the prayer, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4020Sahih (Darussalam), then you have specific texts regarding the prayer in congregation, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 554Hasan (Al-Albani) to the end of the hadith. Then, with both of these, you have the prayer of A'ishah with the women as imam, so she stands in the middle of them, and calls the adhan, and establishes the prayer, she or someone else, so this is a recommended practice, not an innovation, from this doubt in the mind.

the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah
يد الله على الجماعةA man's prayer said along with another is purer than his prayer said alone
صلاة الرجل مع الرجل أزكى من صلاته وحده ...
