Q: I have heard that it is mentioned in the hadith that a lady who reads her salaah at awwal waqt gets the reward of reading salah with jamaat Takbir e oola etc. Is this correct. What about if a lady reads her salaah at the same time as the men in the musjid does she still get this reward? Should one set the salaah times for the ladies in the home in order to get this sawaab?
Q: Please explain the salaah posture for a female. Do the arms remain close to the body and flat on the floor or raised? Please explain the complete postures from beginning to end. May Allah reward you most kind.
Q: What is the Shar'ee ruling with regard to women attending the congregational Salaah in the Masaajid or being present for the Eid Salaah?
Q: I am currently in makkah and in the haram there are ladies reading everywhere amongst the men and also at times there are so many people that I have to read on the second and the third level. Is salah valid even though there seems to be no continuity of the saffs? Also if there would be a row of ladies reading salaah in front of me or next to me or on a level below me behind the Imaam and I am also following the Imam, what is the status of my salaah? Since I was unsure I have been repeating my salaah individually after every salaah.
Q: I wanted to know a couple of things concerning the validation of prayer. If a man and a woman are in a haraam relationship (adultery), can he lead her in prayer alone? If a women is at a female friends house can she pray with her friends husband and son? If a women comes into the mosque and there are no other females and only one male there already praying should she follow behind him in prayer?
Q: Can women perform their taraweeh in the masjid, behind an imam?
Q: While doing sajdah women should touch their elbows to the ground. This is according to which maslak?
Q: Is it permissible for a haafiza to read loudly the taraweeh namaaz when she is alone at home? Reading loud also enables her to remember the dhor better.
Q: In a nearby musjid, there are accommodations for women to pray taraaweeh behind the men. The women prayer area is such that there are different rooms. As a result, the women do not stand shoulder to shoulder and there are random gaps on each side of the saaf for an "aisle". I even saw one lady praying in a room all by herself. What is the ruling for this?
Q: In the posture of qiyaam, should a woman join her feet together or should there be a gap of four fingers between her feet, as is the case of men?
