Women’s Congregational Prayer

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by SunniPath Answer Service Team

Are women allowed to pray in jamaat?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate

From a previous question answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani:

‘As for praying in a congregation of women, the Hanafi position is that it is prohibitively disliked (makruh tahriman), because it is not established from the practice of the female Companions except through a couple of narrations, which are understood either as being from the early period of Islam or done to teach others how to pray.’

Wassalam,
