Can a woman be imam when praying with her husband? Can she stand next to him?
Question
I understand why a woman should not lead a group of men in prayer for good reasons, but why can't she sometimes be imam with her husband? why should she stand behind him? is the prayer not accepted if she stands next to him? Thank you.
Answer
A wife cannot lead her husband in Salaat.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
