Where does a woman stand in prayer with men?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence! This is a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom in Hail, Ahmad Muhammad, who says: My wife and I used to pray in congregation, meaning: in the same row, she would pray with me in the same row. When I heard from one of the brothers that he said: It is not permissible for a woman to pray with a man in the same row, I began to think a lot about the days my wife used to pray with me in the same row. Do I have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
You do not have to repeat it, but in the future she should be behind you; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to be behind the men, and he prayed once in the house of Umm Anas, so Anas stood to his right, and the woman behind him was Anas’s grandmother.
So the point is: the position of the women is behind the men, even if it is him and his wife, she is behind him, not in the same row with him, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
