How Women Pray in Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question asks: Can one of the women lead the others in prayer? And how should she stand?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If it is possible to have someone lead them, that is better. They learn and benefit from it. She stands in the middle of them, with some women to her right and some to her left. She does not stand in front of them, but rather in the middle, with people to her right and people to her left. She raises her voice in recitation so that they can benefit, in the Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers, just as a man does. She preaches to them if that is possible, and she reminds them and teaches them after the prayer, or before the prayer, while they are to her right, left, and behind her. Yes.
They should choose the best among them, the one who recites best and is the most virtuous. If each woman prays alone, there is no blame on her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
