What is the ruling on women praying in the mosque, and which rows are best for women if the women's prayer area is on a different floor, separate from the men's prayer area?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a woman to pray in the mosque, provided there is no fear of temptation. If women pray with men, the best of their rows is the last, and the worst is the first. However, if they pray separately from men, the best of their rows is the first, and the worst is the last.
