Is it permissible for a husband to lead his wife in congregational prayer at home so that she does not miss congregational prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is better for the husband to pray with the congregation in the mosque, and it is better for the wife to pray in her home. There is no harm if the husband prays in the mosque and then leads his wife in congregational prayer upon his return, or if he leads her in a supererogatory prayer before Fajr, with the wife intending it as the obligatory prayer.
