The answer

Women are required to straighten the prayer rows like men. The straightening of rows is achieved by aligning the shoulders without the need for spreading the legs. A woman differs from a man in some prayer postures, which ensures her concealment. It is therefore recommended for her to keep her body parts close together during bowing, prostration, and the rest of the prayer, and not to spread her legs in the row.
