The Obligation of Following the Imam in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling on some women who do not pray behind the imam as is required, but rather bow and prostrate whenever they please?
Answer:
This is not permissible, and the prayer is invalid; because whoever prays behind the imam must follow the imam and must not race ahead of the imam, and no one, whether man or woman, should play around. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. So following is necessary, and playing around is not permissible. We ask Allah for well-being.

The imam was made to be followed, so do not differ with him. When he says the takbir, say the takbir, and do not say the takbir until he says it. When he bows, bow
إنما جعل الإمام ليؤتم به، فلا تختلفوا عليه، فإذا كبر فكبروا، ولا تكبروا حتى يكبر، وإذا ركع فاركعوا
