Men Should Stand Ahead of Women
Issue No.811- Women should stand behind men while performing prayer, and their place of sajdah should be a little behind men, otherwise, the prayer will be void whether they are maḥram or non-maḥram. However, if there is a wall or curtain, etc., between men and women, or, if the distance between them is ten cubits (about 5 metres), then there would be no problem in the prayer. In addition, it is not necessary to observe this rule in crowded places which it is hard to observe.
