Fatwa 5293English
PrayerPrayer (Salaat)

Question

if yes then what should be the allowable distance between them. Jazakallahu Khairun

Answer

A man and woman (husband and wife or Mahrams) may recite their Salaat individually in one room.

There is no restriction with regards to the distance between them as long as they are not reciting the same Salaat, i.e. they are reading their own Salaat and not following each other. However, if the man is the Imaam and woman is following him in that Salaat, then she should stand directly behind him.
