Women standing next to men in the prayer 

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed

Is it permissible for a woman to stand next to her mahram (unmarriageable men) during the prayer?

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

Yes, it is permissible for them to do that, but there is offensiveness in it. In our school, neither the woman’s nor the man’s prayer would be invalidated thereby.

السؤال : هل يجوزُ للمرأةِ أن تَقِفَ بِجوارِ المحارم من الرجال في صلاة الجماعة ؟

الجواب : نعم يجوز ذلك لكن مع الكراهة ، ولا تبطل صلاةُ الرجل ولا المرأة بذلك عندنا
