Congregational prayer is established and its virtue attained by a man praying with an adult woman, provided there is no (private seclusion) with her if she is a non-. However, if she is not an adult (distinguishing or adolescent), the congregational prayer is established and its virtue attained, according to the preponderant opinion, with the obligation to also avoid khalwa with her if she is a non-mahram, because an adolescent is like an adult in terms of the prohibition of khalwa.
