Scholars have differed on the validity of following the Imam in prayer for someone who is outside the mosque, with a wall or road separating them. It is advisable not to pray behind such an Imam, in order to avoid disagreement, and because a woman's prayer in her home is better for her than her prayer in the mosque.
