Alhamdulillah a few days ago I was sent this video about salah for women I must say, it was really painful and depressing to watch. May Allaah guide us all to follow and practice according to the authentic Sunnah... ameen thumma ameen! đ Imam Abu Haneefah said: âIf the hadeeth is saheeh then that is my madhhab.â And he said: âIt is not permissible for anyone to follow what we say if they do not know where we got it from.â According to another report he said: âIt is haraam for the one who does not know my evidence to issue a fatwa based on my words.â And according to another report he added: âWe are human, we may say something today and retract it tomorrow.â And he said: âIf I say something that goes against the Book of Allaah or the report of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), then ignore what I say.â QUESTION: Is there a difference in the way men and women prostrate?. ANSWER : Praise be to Allaah. Some of the scholars are of the view that men and woman should pray differently, and they quote a number of ahaadeeth as evidence for that, but these are all daâeef (weak) and cannot be taken as evidence. But the correct view is that there is no difference in the way men and women pray. Shaykh Muhammad ibn âUthaymeen said, refuting the view of the fuqahaâ that âwomen should not spread their arms out, rather they should keep them close to their sides and when they prostrate they should press their stomachs to their thighs and their thighs to their calves⌠because they should conceal themselves, and compressing themselves is more concealing than spreading out.â Ibn âUthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: This may be answered in several ways: 1 â This reason cannot stand up against the general meaning of the texts which indicate that women are like men with regard to rulings, especially since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âPray as you have seen me praying,â and this is addressed in general terms, including both men and women. 2 â This reason is redundant because usually, as is prescribed, women pray alone in their houses with no men present. In that case there is no need for them to compress themselves, so long as no men can see them. 3 â You say that she raises her hands, and raising the hands is more likely to uncover than spreading the arms when prostrating. But despite that you say that it is Sunnah for her to raise her hands, because the basic principle is that the rulings apply equally to men and women. The correct view is: Women should do the same things that men do in the prayer, so they should raise their hands and spread their arms out when prostrating, and make their backs level when bowing and lift their stomachs up off their thighs, and their thighs up off their calves, when prostrating⌠they should sit on the left foot with the right foot held upright when sitting between the two prostrations and in the first tashahhud. In the last tashahhud of the prayer there is only one tashahhud, and they should sit mutawarrikan (with the left upper thigh on the ground and both feet protruding from one (the right) side) during the final tashahhud of three- and four-rakâah prayers. There are no exceptions for women in any of these matters. Al-Sharh al-Mumtiâ, 3/304, 303
