Are women allowed to pray in jamaat?
Answer:
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.’
