Q 1: Where should a woman stand when her husband is leading her in Salah (Prayer)?


A: When a man leads a woman in Salah, even if she is his wife, she has to stand behind him. It is reported that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) visited him in his house and led him and his family in two supererogatory Rak`ahs (units of Prayer) before noon. He (Anas) stood on his right and his mother stood behind them. According to another narration: I, along with the orphan, stood behind him, while Um Sulaym stood behind us. (Part No. 7; Page No. 336) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
