Can I make jam'at with my sister at home?
Question
Assalamualaikum, I live in Germany and there is no masjid near my house where i can pray salat with jama'at. That's why I pray salat at home. my younger sister also pray salat, So would it not be better for us to make jama'at at home and in this case will we get 27th times reward. and please describe the position of iqtida in this case. jazakallah.
Answer
We commend you for your enthusiasm for Deen. May Allah Ta?ala increase your steadfastness, Aameen.
You may perform Jamaat at home with your sister whereby you may earn the rewards of Jamaat. However, when making Jamaat with your sister, she should stand at a distance behind you. It is necessary for you as the Imaam to make the intention of being Imaam for the women.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

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.
