Answer:

Difference in Men & Women Prayer

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

There is absolutely no difference in the form or way of the prayer between a man and a woman be in the times of prayer, the substance of the prayer, the obligatory requirements of the prayer, etc.

Only when praying in a public place, some companions of the Messenger of Allah (saws) would guide their women to pray in a curled-up manner when performing their ‘ruku’ and ‘sujood’, so that their ‘satr’ would be better honored and protected.

Other than that, there is absolutely no difference between the procedures of prayer between the believing men and women in Islam.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother and sincere well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
