Missing the congregational Salah in the Masjid and offering it at home with one's wife


483

Q 1: Is it Sunnah (a commendable act), if I miss the congregational Salah (Prayer) in the Masjid (mosque), to perform it with my wife at home? If so, am I entitled to the reward of congregational Salah?


A: If you miss the congregational Salah in the Masjid, it is permissible that your wife or any other woman at home prays as Ma'mum (a person being led by an Imam in Prayer) behind you. You may do so for any Nafilah (supererogatory) Salah as well. A proof for this is that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) visited us after sunrise. (Part No. 6; Page No. 197) When he (peace be upon him) started to pray Salat-ul-Duha (supererogatory Prayer after sunrise), I and the orphan prayed behind him and Um Sulaym prayed behind us all. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
