Is it permissible for a woman to lead her adult sons in prayer?
The imamate of a woman for men is not valid, whether they are adults or children, according to the general consensus of jurists. The prayer of women behind her is sufficient, but the prayer of men and boys is not sufficient, because Allah has made men guardians over women.
