A woman leading a man in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The sister Umm Yusuf from Makkah al-Mukarramah says in her question: Is it permissible for a woman to lead her husband in the night prayer if she is more proficient in recitation than he is? She also says: Her husband missed the 'Asr prayer, and when he entered the house, he found her praying, so he joined her as a follower. Is their prayer valid?

A: It is not permissible for a woman to lead a man in prayer, and his prayer behind her is not valid, for many reasons. The person mentioned must repeat his prayer. May Allah guide them all.
