What is the best and worst position for women's prayer rows?
Chapter on Imamate and Congregational Prayer
Al-Mughni
Book of Prayer
Primary text
The foremost row for women in congregational prayer is the worst, and the furthest row is the best. This ruling is derived from the prophetic saying: "...and the best rows of women are the last of them, and the worst of them are the first of them," as narrated by Muslim and Abu Dawud.
