Is it permissible for a woman to pray sitting in a stopped car due to the inability to pray in the mosque and fearing the prayer's time will elapse?
Standing in the obligatory prayer is a pillar without which the prayer is not valid. If a woman finds it difficult to perform the prayer in the mosque, this is not considered a legitimate excuse for her to perform it sitting in a car. Rather, she must descend from the car and perform the prayer standing on the ground, while adhering to the legal hijab and exaggerating in covering herself.
