Answers: 1Subcategories: 12Congregational Prayer & Rulings on Leading the Prayer
When Is It Compulsory to Pray at the Mosque?
There is no specific distance defined in Shari`ah, rather that depends on `Urf (custom) or the distance within which the Adhan can be heard without a microphone.118,769Should You Stop Sunnah Prayer When Iqamah Is Announced?
If the Iqamah for prayer is given while you are still in the first Rak`ah of an optional prayer, then you should cut it short. If that happens when you are in the second Rak`ah, then you should complete it quickly and not cut it short.45,265Is Combining Maghrib and Isha when Raining Allowed?
There is a concession allowing Maghrib and `Isha’ prayers to be joined at the time of Maghrib when there is rain that soaks people’s clothes and will cause hardship when going to the mosque for `Isha’ prayer.119,711Is It Better for a Woman to Pray at Home?
Prophet Muhammad preferred for women to pray in their houses and said that their reward for doing so is greater than their reward for praying in the mosque. If women need to pray in the marketplace and there is a place that is screened off, there is nothing wrong with them praying there. A woman’s prayer is not invalidated just because a man happens to see her.161,654Is It Permissible to Precede the Imam in the Prayer?
Anticipating or preceding the Imam in prayer is forbidden, and if it is done deliberately, it invalidates the prayer. Delaying following him, like preceding him, is not allowed.11,154Can You Pray at Home If You Are Sick?
The sick person is excused from Jumu`ah prayer and from praying in congregation. What is meant by that is the kind of sickness which means that it is too difficult for the person to go and pray in the mosque.63,015Who Should Lead the Prayer?
The one who most deserves to lead the prayer is the one who has the most knowledge of the rulings on prayer and has memorized the most Quran.124,245When one comes to the mosque and finds the last row full

20,021Can a Man Lead a Woman in Prayer?
If the woman is one of your Mahrams, there is nothing wrong with you leading her in prayer and it will be counted as prayer in congregation. But if she is a non-Mahram, and if your leading her in prayer means that you will be alone with her, then in this case your leading her in prayer is prohibited.152,911
