00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Where should a woman pray?
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			I think we've answered partly the answer to
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:07
			this question.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			At home or in the Masjid,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			if she prays at home, can she lead
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			the congregation
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			or a congregation of women?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			It's mentioned in Sayid Tarkib, hadith number 336,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			where the beloved prophet said
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			that
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			the best mosque
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			for a woman
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			is her enormous
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			room enormous
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			chamber.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			And the best place for a woman to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			pray
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			is her inner room. That's the best.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			And in another hadith of
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			Musa Ndehmad, pound number 6, hadith number 27202,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			which also mentioned in
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			Sayyat Turgi,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			hadith number 335.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Once a lady
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			asked the prophet, I would love to pray
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			with you,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			the lady said. And the prophet replied, I
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			know you'd love to pray with me, but
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			your prayer
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			in a inner room
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			would be better than praying in your house.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			The prayer in your house
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			would be better than praying in the courtyard.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			Your praying in your courtyard would be better
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			than praying in the mosque
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			where you live,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			where around your people.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			Your praying in the mosque where you live
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			around with people is better than praying in
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			my mosque.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			That means for a woman, the best prayer
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			is the inner room. Oh, sure. And the
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			way, Saddid, that
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			praying
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			in your room is better than house, house
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			better than the courtyard, courtyard better than the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			mosque in your area, then mosque better than
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			the mosque of the prophet. Though the prophet
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			said, just mentioned in the same Muslim.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Model number 2, hadith number 3 to 10
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			that
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			praying in my mosque
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55
			is equivalent
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			to a 1,000 prayers.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			That means, if you pray in the mosque,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			it is equal to praying a 1,000 times
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			in any other mosque.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			But this Hadith is mainly referring to the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			men
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			because no 2 say Hadith can contradict. So
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			this Hadith mainly refers to the men. For
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			the women, the best place
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			in the house especially her inner room
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			and
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			there's a hadith
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			in Sunan Abu Dawood volume number 1
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			book of salah hide number 591
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Umya warka, my love will be with her.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			She comes to the prophet and says that
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			I would like to have more than in
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			my house and the prophet gave her permission.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			The next Hadith, Sunana Boudaud, worm number 1,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			Waqas Salah, hide number 592. It says that
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			Muhammad Sallallahu Salam
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			given to a house after appointing the mountain
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			and he asked her to lead the prayer
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			in congregation. And the woman in the house,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			they joined
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			her. And the narrator says that he saw
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			the mod then. He was the old person.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			It's for the mission
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			in Asai Hadith of
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			Beharqi,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Hadith number 1922,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Hadid
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			Aisha, who's
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			the wife of the prophet, she says that
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			she led the congregation
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			of the woman.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			She was the imam,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			but she stood in the middle of the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			row.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			And another Hadith
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			in the sunnah of Ibn Abi Shai ba,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			Hadith number 4953.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			Say Umay Salma, who was also the wife
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			of the prophet, Mela Abi.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			Even she said that she led, she was
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			the Imam of a congregation of women.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			And she was standing in the center
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			of the first row. So here indicates that
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			the women,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			they
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			can pray,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			but it is better for them to pray
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			in the inner room
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			better than going in the mosque. But they
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			are permitted to go in the mosque as
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			we discussed Yeah. Earlier yesterday.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			That praying in the mosque is permitted,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			but for them, the inner room is better
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			than the house, the house is better than
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			the courtyard, courtyard better than the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			mosque close to them, than the mosque of
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			the prophet,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			but they can pray they can go to
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			the mosque. If they pray at home, they
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			can have a congregation.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			There's no problem at all, and a woman
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			can lead the congregation according to the way
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			I said it.
