Women’s Salah: Before or After Congregational Prayer?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I want to know that can a woman offer Salaah before the congregational Salaah in the Musjid or does she have to wait for the congregational Salaah to be done in the Musjid before she performs her Salaah? Similarly what is the ruling for woman’s zuhr Salaah on Friday?

Bismillaah

A:

1. It is not necessary for her to wait for the congregational Salaah to take place in the Musjid in order for her to perform her Salaah. She may perform her Salaah immediately after the time sets in. 

2. She may perform Zuhr Salaah in her home when the time sets in.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

( والمستحب ) للرجل ( الابتداء ) في الفجر ( بإسفار والختم به ) هو المختار بحيث يرتل أربعين آية ثم يعيده بطهارة لو فسد وقيل يؤخر جدا لأن الفساد موهوم ( إلا لحاج بمزدلفة ) فالتغليس أفضل كمرأة مطلقا وفي غير الفجر الأفضل لها انتظار فراغ الجماعة

قال الشامي : قوله ( مطلقا ) أي ولو في غير مزدلفة لبناء حالهن على الستر وهو في الظلام أتم (رد المحتار 1/ 366)
