Where a woman should stand when offering Salah behind her husband


446

Q 1: Is it permissible for a woman to stand beside her husband during Salah (Prayer) and not behind him?


A: It is not permissible for a woman to stand beside her husband during Salah; rather, she should stand behind him. This is supported by the following Hadith, which was related by Muslim in his Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadith on the authority of Anas who reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) led him and his mother or his aunt in Salah and he made him stand on his right side and made the woman stand behind them. If it is permissible for women to stand beside men during Salah, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would have made the woman stand behind him and made Anas stand beside her, but he did not and this indicated the reprehensibility of this.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
