Ladies pray in jamaat

Wa Alaikum us Salam.

Yes Hanafi ladies can pray in Jamat. Although it is not compulsory for her to join Jamat (congregational prayers) like males. Instead of Jumah she will offer Zohar prayers at home. But if she comes to mosque her namaz will be valid and she must come with full Pardah /Islamic attire.

Usually Hanafi families ask scholars.. can our ladies come to mosque for prayers. Is it allowed❓ But same question is not asked when she is roaming in markets and picnic resorts in front of strangers?? Similarly Airports, Aeroplane , restaurants everywhere where there is mix gathering.❗ People are comfortable there but in mosque where namaz area, ablution area, entrances and exits are seperate they make their minds that coming here is not ❌allowed, without understanding what the true spirit of Shariah is. ❗

Dear Muslims, This is 🔚End of times. Guide female members about means of worshipping📿 Almighty, piety, being steadfast on religion. If you leave them free and give them open hand they will find pleasure in markets, mobiles, TV or other sources of evil. Remember, Mosques are best places on the face of earth

احب البلاد الی اللہ مساجدھا

Considering the tribulations occuring in modern times if families are coming to mosque to find peace they should NOT be discouraged. Religious sermons are the most important means to save us from immorality and all evil deeds.

A seperate place should be allocated for them in mosques with female scholars to train and guide them.

Brothers, try to mould yourself and family members within Shariah parameters. If you find their need to come to mosque / religious institution they can come for undertstanding religion and acquiring closeness of Allah BUT islamic dressing and rulings to be complied. She must abstain from strangers. Namaz area should be seperate.
