#478: A Woman following Congregational Prayers from Her Room
QUESTION
” Salam alaykum, admin pls is it permissible for a woman to follow the jama`ah within her room provided the masjid is situated in her compound.”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.
Alhamdulillāh.
The Ulamā differed about this mildly, the Hanafis considered it permissible without restrictions, the Shāfi’īs and the Hanbalis considered it impermissible unrestrictedly while the Mālikīs considered it permissible as long as it is not Jumu’a and she can hear the voice of the Imām and be aware if the Imām makes any mistake.
Given the situation you described, the Mālikī position will suffice Inshā Allāh.
Bārakallāhu fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
