  • Can Women Offer Salah In Public?

    Posted by Shagufta Fatima on January 17, 2024 at 4:40 am

    Assalam alaikum
    Respected Ghamidhi sahab
    Mostly I offer my salah at home in closed space but sometimes like to pray on the terrace of my house from where the distant horizon, the moon and stars are visible. This makes me feel closer to Allah and I feel better concentration and happiness when I pray like this. I am fully covered from head to toe in loose garment, only my face and hands upto wrist is visible.
    I have listened to many scholars stating it is not permissible for women to pray outside unless it is an unavoidable case.
    Is it permissible for me to pray on the terrace for my personal happines and contentment if I am completely covered as I mentioned.

    Eagerly waiting for your reply.
    With best regards

    Yes, you can pray there. This is not impermissible. The reports that state that women should pray inside the house do not make it impressible not to pray in the open. In the time of the prophet, the women used to pray in the mosques and they also participated in the Eid prayers.
