Female Imam?

[eusuphxai]

Sometime ago there was a news where a lady was an Imam in prayers.

My question is, is it permissible? I know what the religious people stance are, I will be interested to see what the other people are saying!

P.S. Please if you can answer the question and have an opinion about it just stick to it. Don't try to attack each other. That's not what adults do.

Does it matter? Will it change your answer?

[abubaker]

no it wouldn't, just wanted to know what you have been told

[eusuphxai]

I would like to see the answer then!

[eusuphxai]

I am not a scholar so I am in no position to give my opinion. The religious people I have heard says it is not allowed.

linguistically the ''imam'' is some one who leads the Congregational prayer and delvers the Friday khutba, so if you mean a female imam in this since then according to the scholars its permissible

if shes leading other females fine...
if men probably not as when she bends down for sajda her clothes (which shld be loose) will reveal her ahem ahem
thats why women pray in the back rows

yeah according to the shafi and hanbali madhabs a female can lead other female in prayer while standing in the middle of the line probably for the same reason you stated

[Dreamer]

I dont follow madhabs so :P

[abubaker]

neither do i so

[Dreamer]

then dont mention them! common sense prevails!

[abubaker]

well just to let the guy know that there are difference of opinions

even though the common since is that a female cannot lead mixed Congregational prayers for obvious reasons

[Dreamer]

the less 1 has 2 do with madhabs the better
