What is the ruling on a woman praying in a place other than her home?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question from our sister, in which she asks: Is it permissible for a woman to pray outside the home, in front of some relatives? Knowing that I am in the countryside, and we do not have a house, and also that we are not wearing modest clothing? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the prayer is in the relatives' house, or in the house of the people the woman visited, and the prayer time arrives, she prays with them. However, if there is a man around her, she should pray in a place far from the man's view, so that he does not see anything of her, especially if her clothing is not modest. She must stay away from the view of non-mahram men, whether in her own house or in a house other than her own. If she is modest and prays in the house, or with some of the people she visited when the prayer time arrives, then there is nothing wrong with all of this. As for a non-mahram, even if he is a maternal uncle's son, a maternal aunt's son, or a paternal uncle's son, she must be completely covered, and there must be no seclusion. Rather, she prays in the house without any seclusion, without any seclusion whatsoever. Yes.
