Is it permissible for a woman to read from a written Qur'an during the night prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You mentioned, you mentioned that reading from the Qur'an during the night prayer is not permissible. Does this mean absolutely, such that a woman cannot now pray alone at home in this situation?
The Shaykh : She prays behind her husband; the same situation can be said to be permissible. However, if she just adjusts it, it is not valid.
The questioner : Is it not permissible for a woman to pray alone at home?
The Shaykh : The principle here, my brother, is the general Sunnah. What is it? If something deviates from it, it is dealt with within these limits, as long as there is no evidence to remove this specific limit. But we do not nullify the general rule, or the general Sunnah, because of it. Is that clear?
The questioner : Clear. May Allah reward you with good.
