Is it permissible for men to pray behind women who are praying individually in a single row, especially when there is a shared prayer room?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Women must be separated from men in the prayer area, even if it is small. The back of the prayer area for women should be designated with a barrier or a sign, while leaving sufficient space for men who arrive late to pray in front of the women.
