Female Correcting a Mahram’s Fault in Salaah
Question
Is it permitted for a woman to vocally correct a Mahram’s faults while she performs Salaah behind him?
Answer
No, verbal correction will not be correct. Yes, she may hit the outer palm to get his attention and thereby correct the error.
Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “Tasbeeh is for men, and clapping is for women.” (Sahih Bukhari)
