Are there differences between the prayer of a man and the prayer of a woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there any difference between the prayer of a man and the prayer of a woman in the actions, for example: raising the hands to the ears, and placing the hands on the chest?

Answer:
The correct view is that she is like the man; because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
and he did not exclude the women. So, what is prescribed for men regarding raising the hands, placing the hands on the chest, placing them on the knees during bowing, and placing them opposite the shoulders or opposite the ears during prostration, all of this applies to both the man and the woman.
Likewise, she recites al-Fatihah, and whatever is easy for her to recite with it in the first and second rak'ahs of the midday, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers. Likewise, in the dawn prayer, she recites whatever is easy for her with al-Fatihah. In the third rak'ah of the sunset prayer, she recites only al-Fatihah. And in the third and fourth rak'ahs of the night, midday, and afternoon prayers, she recites al-Fatihah.
The point is: she is like the man. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
