Answer:

Can one do congregation with wife

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.

Although it is ‘wajib’ and obligatory for the men in Islam to always attend the congregational prayers in the mosque with the other believers….there is absolutely no harm and it is absolutely permissible in Islam that a man lead the prayer in congregation with his wife; with the man standing in front and leading the prayer, and his wife standing in congregation directly behind him.

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

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
