this is part two of chapter
two rulings related
to
and question number six can a female
lead a boy who has not yet reached
puberty in prayer can a young boy lead
an adult
female yes it is allowed for young boys
t or a little younger to lead people in
prayer with one condition the condition
is that the child should know the
rulings of
Salah
and there is a Hadith that that provides
evidence for this it states that there
was a child who was 7 years old and was
leading prayer and his bottom was
showing and as his clothes were too
small a woman passing by said can't you
guys buy something to cover your imam's
bottom he was leading the prayer because
he knew the most Quran amongst the group
and even though he was young he was
allowed to lead the people in
prayer also women are allowed to lead
young boys who have not yet reached
puberty in prayer can a woman lead men
in prayer this issue is where most of
the agreed that women are not allowed to
lead men in prayer some Scholars have a
different opinion amongst them is a
great Shafi scholar named Al muani and I
jari and Abu these three allowed women
to lead men in prayer but she has to
lead them from behind and only if no one
amongst the men memorized the
Quran one scholar allowed it only for as
it is a prayer and none of them allowed
it for the J
prayer the next question is what is the
rule the next question is can I stand
beside my husband in
prayer all the Muslim jurist say that
women should pray behind men even if
they are the their M question number
eight what is the rule regarding
carrying a baby with a dirty diaper
during prayer the Sheik answered this
question in detail in previous chapters
the answer to this is yes a mother can
carry her baby with a dirty diaper
during
prayer question number nine when women
line up for Salah should their bodies
touch each other like in men's lines the
answer to this question is yes they have
to be close together the Sunnah is not
to leave gap for shaan also if women are
praying with with gaps between them then
their reward for the prayer is
lessened question number 10 I have seen
some women praying V after is there a
basis for this practice the Sheik said
that he has seen some women praying
after the Salah but this is wrong
because J Salah replaces D this also
applies for men and children
a question was asked from the audience
is part of the area that should be
covered If part of the area that should
be covered becomes uncovered during
Salah will the Salah be
invalid the Sheikh said that there it
will be invalid depending on two
conditions number one the size of the
place and number two how long it was
uncovered
for if it is a large part of the body
that was uncovered for a long period of
time then the Salah becomes invalid
if a small area of her hair or neck or
leg is visible while going into Su or
then it is okay the Salah is still
acceptable but if a person is not aware
that a body part is showing even if it
is a large area then it is fine the
Salah is still acceptable because the
person was not aware of
it another question that was asked was
is it okay for women to pray in
congregation or
Jam the answer to this question is it is
good to pray in Jama but if they want to
Pray by themselves that is also
permissible but if there are men in a
group then they must pray in
Jama when women pray together The
Scholar said it doesn't matter she can
stand in front of the women or in the
middle of the first row
as used to lead women other narrations
from early Generations show show that
women leading women in prayer used to
stand in front of the Rose too and there
is nothing forbidding
this another question is what about
people passing in front of the person
who is praying the Sunnah is to pray in
front of a
Sutra the Sunnah is to have a Sutra in
front of the person who is praying the
object should be the size of 2/3 of the
length of the arm and this is reported
in and it has to be in front of the
person who is
praying if a person wants to pass then
he he or she should pass from from
behind or from in front of the Sutra and
not in between the person and the
Sutra question number
11 should a child passing in front of a
Praying person be prevented the Sheik
said that yes a child should be taught
not to pass in front of a person while
praying the person who is praying can
also stop the child and let him or her
go behind the person it has been
reported in Hakim that once the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was praying
in a field or garden and he was praying
in front of a wall and he saw a goat
coming so the prophet sallallah alaihi
wasallam walked until he was very close
to the wall and he let the goat pass
from behind
him what if the child passes in front of
you and you were not able to stop him or
her the your Salah is still fine and it
is
acceptable question number 12 would a
woman passing in front of another woman
break her
prayer the shikh said that if a woman
passes in front it is still accept
acceptable and it does not matter if she
is on her period or not none of the
Muslim Scholars say that the Salah is
unacceptable however a woman passing in
front of a
man has said it is still acceptable
because she was in front of the Prophet
Sall alaihi wasallam while he was
praying she used to sleep in front of
him while he was praying and he would
move her feet so he can make Saga
because there was very little space in
their room
this
Hadith which there is a Hadith that says
that women break the Salah and all the M
say that it breaks the concentration and
it does not mean to literally break the
Salah or cause it to be
invalid therefore the Salah is valid if
a woman passes in front of a person that
is
praying question number
13 at the Haram in Mecca people pass in
front of those praying continuously due
to crowding does a passing woman break
prayer in such a
scenario the scholars made an exception
for Mecca and Medina because it can be
very crowded at times and as a general
rule this can be applied to very crowded
areas the ruling is not so strict and
people who pass in front of you while
praying your praying is your prayer is
still
acceptable question number 14 is it
permissible for me to join prayer if I
am in a mall or work and there is no
Masid
nearby the answer to this question is
that the mall is not the most important
place and if you are there casually then
you should not combine but if you are
there for something really important or
you're at work and you became
overwhelmed with so much work then it is
allowed to combine for that brief period
of time however it cannot it cannot
become a routine or an everyday thing
this this ruling also applies for a
person who has exams and they are not
allowed they're not able to pray on time
if it is out of necessity and there's no
way out then it is permissible to
combine the Salah but it should not
become a
habit question number
15 said if the prophet Sall alai
wasallam had witnessed what women were
doing today he would have prevented them
from coming to the Masjid as the women B
is were forbidden from going to their
places of worship this was reported in
Muslim what does this narration
mean this means that women should behave
approp appropriately in the Masjid and
they should not talk too much or too
loud or dress
inappropriately however we know that the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam also
said in another Hadith that no one
should prevent women from going to the
Masjid question number 16 do we have to
have a partition between men and women
in the Masjid the prophet sallallahu
alam's Masjid had no partition between
men and women the early generations for
hundreds of years had no partitions also
this issue was never discussed in the
books of f because it never existed in
the time of the sahabah and
after the Salah is correct with or
without partition and putting a
partition is not an act of worship if it
exists then it should only be for giving
privacy for women because sisters have
their own in the Masid and nowadays in
our society the Masjid is more of a
community
center used to teach at her own home and
the men used to listen from outside
while the women were inside if there's a
partition then the women should have
visual access to the men and they should
at least be able to hear them without a
microphone because if the microphone or
speakers fail then they should know
which part of the while they are still
in question number 17 if there is a
partition in the Masjid what would be
the best line for women the front or the
back the answer to this question is that
the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam
said for men the best line in prayer is
the front row and the worst is the back
row and for women the best line is the
back row and the worst line is the front
row but if there's a partition in the
Masid then in this case for women the
best row would be in the front this is
also the opinion ofb
Bas question number 18 must I have and
wear
during
and means to make one s for thankfulness
you do not need to wear or to have or to
face the because the person is not
performing Salah
this is what the majority of the
scholars have said the other opinion
says you have to wear hijab and make W
because it is a part of the Salah but
there is not a good argument because we
also say Subhan Allah and other other
which are also part of the Salah but we
do not need woo for it the Sunnah is to
make S sh right away when we hear the
good news so it is possible that we do
not have wo or hijab at the
time question number 19 the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam prevented
women from wearing perfume when going to
the Masid does this apply to deodorants
body sprays lotions with smells
Etc the answer to this is the Sheikh
believes that deodorant deodorant is
very important as sometimes people can
have foul smell and enter the Masjid and
this would be this this would be
disrespectful for the
Masjid what is forbidden is to wear
perfume that men can smell when a person
passes by if it is something not too
strong or a person has to be very close
to be able to smell it then it is
allowed if a woman is going to an all
women's event then it is okay as long as
she's not passing by a men some sisters
go to the extreme of buying unscented
shampoo Etc but this is wrong because
the prophet Sall alaihi wasallam told
women to clean themselves from the
period and to put musk on to to push
away the bad
smell said that during she puts a musk
on her hair during Hajj to make the
smell go away and also she was with
women during this
time question number
20 do the Hadith that mentioned rewards
for remaining in Z after prayer applied
to women praying at
home for example there are a lot of
Hadith that mention the reward for om
for a person who stays in place after F
and does until
IM Malik said it applies to men in the
Masjid and women at home but he also
said that if a man prays F at home and
stays making then this Hadith applies to
him
also a question from the audience is
there a difference in the way women
perform prayer other other than
men is there a difference in the way
women perform prayer than men the shik
said that there are no differences
except for the following Five Points
number one if men pray then they have to
do the and women do not need to do it
number two if the Imam makes a mistake
the men say Subhan Allah and the women
clap number three men say a mean out
loud and women say it silently number
four men can lead men and women in Salah
and women cannot lead men and the last
difference number five is if there are
two men praying then they can stand next
to each other but if there is a man and
a woman praying the woman should stand
behind the
man another question that was asked in
the audience was does a woman recite
Quran out loud during prayer the answer
to this is if a woman is leading women
she must read out loud if she's praying
on her own then she can also read out
loud especially for and she should
recite out loud since these are the loud
prayers this concludes part two of
chapter two
