Salat: Friday Congregation & Women Attending the Mosque (Q & - TopicsExpress



          

Salat: Friday Congregation & Women Attending the Mosque (Q & A) Is it appropriate for women to attend Friday prayer in the mosque, if it is convenient for them to do so? Yes, it is perfectly acceptable that women should attend Friday prayers, although it is not obligatory for them. Muslim women have been attending Friday prayers in all Muslim countries since the Prophets time. They attend Friday prayer every week in the Sacred Mosque in Makkah and in the Prophets Mosque in Madinah, as well as in Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Wherever it is convenient, they may attend if they wish. God has been kind to us, taking into account the duties women have to perform and the fact that they often need to look after young children. Therefore, He has not made Friday and congregational prayers obligatory to women. But He has not barred them from them. Hence, they may attend whenever they please. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says: Do not prevent female servants of God from attending Gods mosques. (Source: Our Dialogue—Arab News, Jeddah)
