The answer

A woman's prayer is the same as a man's prayer in all situations, due to the generality of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Pray as you have seen me praying," and the inclusivity of this address to both men and women, and also due to his saying: "Indeed, women are the counterparts of men." The hadiths that differentiate between the prayer of a man and a woman in prostration (sujud) and sitting (julūs) are weak and cannot be used as evidence. It was narrated that Umm ad-Darda' used to sit in her prayer in the same manner as a man.
