Is it valid for women to gather in one house and pray Jumu'ah, when there is a public road between the house and the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible for women to pray Jumu'ah in one house behind the imam, when there is a public road between them?
The Shaykh : Women are not addressed with the obligation of Jumu'ah or congregational prayer, except in the prayer of the festival. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to go out, but if they attend the mosque and pray Jumu'ah with the people, it suffices for the Zuhr prayer.
As for if they gather in a house and establish Jumu'ah, their prayer is not valid.
The questioner : And there is a public road between them?
The Shaykh : Likewise, if they pray in their houses behind the imam, their prayer is not valid.
The questioner : And between the mosque and this house.
The Shaykh : Whether there is a road between the mosque and them, or they are adjacent to the mosque.
