Method for Husband and Wife to Pray Together

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwaa.com

Assalaamu’ Alaikum

Respected Sheikh ,

Please explain in detail how a husband and wife will offer Fard Salat at home ?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,

There are only two differences from normal Imāmah (where a man leads men):

1) The husband will first call out the iqāmāh, then step forward.
2) The wife should stand directly behind him the husband.

Thereafter the husband will perform the Imāmah as normal.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
