Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A The Salat of Women According to the Sunna

Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam showed us how to live our

life in, he is more virtuous, it is more virtuous to follow the

Sunnah. How can we do? How can we, but how can we? How can we do a

few things interpreted by the Imams example salats our Prophet

did not order women to pray different to him. Why do we do it?

Now, this is a fluid question, because it's assuming that what

the Imams are saying, they're making things up. And it's also

assuming that the Prophet salallahu Salam showed women how

to pray, and showed men how to pray as well. Right, so let's

clarify the fundamental aspects. Question is, did the Prophet

salallahu Salam show the men and the women how to pray? And said,

did he ever say in any Hadith? Do Do we have any narration that

shows that Abram SallAllahu Sallam told the men and women to pray in

the same way? Number one, because if that was the case, then what

these Imams have done is absolutely wrong. Right, clearly

wrong. But that's what we have to determine. So

after all, my study on this subject, and I've done quite a bit

of study on this subject, because I wrote a book on this subject,

the frequent Imam. And the whole point was to remove doubts like

this. This is a misunderstanding this generally provided this

question, I'm assuming, is coming from a person who's heard from

someone that men and women's prayer are the same. I don't think

they've seen a hadith to that effect because I don't believe

there's a hadith to that effect. The prophets of Allah says in

fact, what he said is Salou Kamara, Ito Mooney, who suddenly

pray, like the way you see me pray. He said that to the men, he

never said that to the women necessarily. So how do women

figure it out? Well, women have the women companions, Omaha to

mumineen. And you have a number of narrations that show that many of

the Omaha to many of the women have the time of Rasulullah

sallallahu Sallam used to do this such that differently, their

prostration differently, and do the different functions that we

mentioned differently. Now, the question is that if they did it

differently, and the prophesy Lawson was saying, pray, like

you've seen me pray, then they either misunderstood the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa salam and did it differently, or made it up by

themselves. But for the women of the time Rasulullah Salallahu.

Salam to have done that, they would have obviously had a

precedent so that they would have seen some of the Omaha minion

praying, or they would have seen. And clearly there's narrations,

which show that the women usually contract themselves in prayer and

not keep

expanded in in the prostration, which is one of the main places

where there's a difference.

So there are a number of narrations to that effect, which

you can look at Inshallah, and even on some some Academy, we're

going to have a, a series on the evidence is of the prayer in which

one of these things will be mentioned. And if you want to look

at these durations, get? There's a number of books even in English on

this subject, even if you look online, you'll find them. Right,

there's one by Sheikh Riyadh in which he discusses the woman's

prayer. There's a number of books in Urdu and Arabic as well allow

sunnah and etc, that discuss the women's prayer. So this question,

the problem is that it's assuming that a person did say pray, just

like, you know, just like men and women should pray the same. He

never said that. So for example, in some places he actually

clarified for example, in one narration is general, right in

Muslim it says, Do not place your arms on the ground, forearms on

the ground like dogs do, which means in frustration, don't put

your forearms on the ground. However, in another version of

that hadith, he clarifies that this is for men, he says, Your men

should not do that. It's difficult for women not to do that, or that

I would still prefer women don't do that just to deal with that

hadith as well. And they should keep it on their side. This is

still can be contracted doesn't need to be on the ground, though.

It can be on the side, but it is mainly on them I have mentioned

it's fine to be on the ground because of this narration. So it's

always important, and I'm glad this question was asked, but it's

always important to look at where the Hadith got now that the Imams

if it was clear from the sort of loss or loss and why would they

what what time did they have to waste to try to make up another

way of the prayer? You know, they the reason why they had to, they

mentioned other things is because that's what the narration is

mentioned. That's what the Sahaba were doing and the Sahaba to doing
