“What has caused you to enter into the terrible torment?’ They said: ‘We
were not of those who used to pray’.” (surah al-Muddaththir: 42)
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting,
or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular]
prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of
specified times.(Q.4:103)
Five Prayers, Allah has obligated upon his slaves in a day and night. So
whoever preserves them has a covenant with Allah to admit him into
Jannah, and whoever does not preserve them, then there is no such
covenant. If he wishes He will punish him, and if he wishes He may forgive
him. [Abu Dawud]
A free woman must cover her whole body except her face, palms and feet.
Her forearms can also be exposed, but it is better to cover them.
The hands should be placed in line with the ears and close to the ears while
in sajdah. The fingers should be close together and facing the qiblah.
The ahadith describing the manner of the salat of Rasulullah Salallahu Alahyi
Wa Sallam state that he used to separate his thighs from his stomach. (Sunan
Tirmidhi, Sunan Abi Dawud). However, this is in reference to the salat of
men. There are explicit ahadith which emphasize that the salat of women is
different in this aspect.
Abdullah Ibn Umar Radhiyallah Anhu reports that Rasulullah Salallahu Alayhi
Wa Sallam said, “When a woman sits during sajdah, she should place her one
thigh over the other and when she prostrates, she must attach her stomach
to her thighs so that it is more concealing for her.” (Sunan Bayhaqi)

Allāh Ta‘ālā states in the Qur’ān:
“Remain in your homes, and do not
display (your beauty) as it used to be
displayed in the days of earlier
ignorance (pre-Islāmic era) …”
(Qur’ān: 33:33)
“O Rasulullah, I wish to perform salat with you.” Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam)
replied, “I know well that you wish to perform salat with me. However, the salat you
perform in your room is better than perform it in your flat, and the salat performed in your
flat is better than it performed in the building, and the salat perform in the building is
better than it performed in the local masjid, and the salat performed in the local masjid is
better than it performed in my masjid. The narrator says that she ordered that a prayer
area be build for her in the farthest and darkest corner of the house and she performed her
salat there until she met her Lord. (Musnad Ahmad)
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “A woman’s prayer in her room is better than her prayer in
her courtyard, and her prayer in her cabinet is better than her prayer in her room.”

Women only congregation
On the authority of Aisha (Allah be
pleased with her), the Prophet (Allah
bless him and give him peace)
said, “There is no good in the
congregation of women.” [Ahmad,
and Tabrani in Awsat]
Imam Zafar Usmani explains the two ahadith by stating that the first
narration explains the general offensiveness of women’s own congregation.
Sayyida Aisha’s leading of prayer, which is stated in the latter hadith,
indicates the permissibility at times and to teach the women the proper
method of prayer.
We do not negate the permissibility of this matter, to such an extent that if
they were to pray in a congregation of their own, we would state the validity
of the prayer. [Imam Zafar Usmani, I’la al-Sunan 4/215]
Without such a reason, however, a congregation of women would be
prohibitively disliked (makruh tahriman), [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah;
Hashiyat Ibn Abidin] because it is going against that which has been
legislated, which is that women either pray alone (given the normal case
would be for them to pray at home), or behind a male congregation.
