Q:

1.1 If a woman is performing salaah in jama'ah with men, will her salaah invalidate the salaah of just the person immediately behind her or all those directly behind her whether there is a wall behind her or not?

1.2 Is there any difference between the Haram and non Haram in the above scenario?

2. If she stood a step or two behind him to his right or left and not directly in line with him, will his salaah break keeping in mind that she will be in line with him though not in Qiyaam, but in Rukoo' and Sajdah?

3. Some are of the opinion that since the gathering is large in the Haram, there is no need to for the Imaam to include the women in his niyyah, as in the case of Jumu'ah and Eid?

Are Ladies Permitted to stand in the saffs of the men in Jamaat Salaah?

Q: Are ladies permitted to stand in the saffs of the men in jamaat salaah. In Bahisti Zewar under the section "Prerequisites of Salaah" there is a masalah that says that the Imaam must make niyyat for a woman who intends joining the Jamaat Salaah if she is standing in line with the men. However if she is standing behind them, then the Imaam does not have to make niyyat for her. This masalah seems to show permissibility for the women to be in line with the men?

A Woman Standing next to a Man whilst he is in Salaah

Q: If a man is performing salaah and a woman comes and stands next to him, but she is not in salaah, she is merely standing next to him, does this invalidate the salaah? Is the ruling same for individual salaah as well as jamaat salaah? Furthermore, is there a difference in the masala if the woman is a disbeliever?
