Ladies performing Salaah in jamaat

Women reading Taraweeh in jamaat

Q:

1. I wanted to know if two women are reading Taraweeh together, must the one leading for those rakaats stand a little forward and the one following a little behind, or must they stand in line?

2. If one woman isn't reading, can she sit with a Qur'aan next to the one who's reading Taraweeh, and correct her if she makes a mistake ? (The one reading will be reciting in a slightly audible tone, is this permissible as well?)

Imaam making intention for women

Q:

1. If there are women following the Imam, does he have to make a specific niyyah for them?

2. If he makes general niyyah for all those following him, will it suffice?

3. If he didnt know there were women following him, will their salaah be accepted?

4. If he knew but didn't make intention for them, will their salaah be accepted?

Women’s salaah in jamaat

Q: I am a female Muslim hanafi from UK and work in a school. At the time of salaah the women gather and make salaah in jamaat with a women leading them. I do not join them since I have learnt that women should read salaah individually. They keep asking me why I do not join. Could Mufti Sahib please provide a well-proven detailed answer in English with the translations of the Ahaadith that are proofs for our viewpoint.
