1177 - وَ سَأَلَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ هَلْ تَؤُمُّ اَلنِّسَاءَ قَالَ «تَؤُمُّهُنَّ فِي اَلنَّافِلَةِ فَأَمَّا فِي اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَلاَ وَ لاَ تَتَقَدَّمُهُنَّ وَ لَكِنْ تَقُومُ وَسَطَهُنَّ.
Hadith.1177 - Hisham ibn Salim asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about whether a woman can lead other women in prayer. Imam (as) said: "She may lead them in the nafl (supererogatory) prayers, but not in the obligatory (fardh) prayers. Moreover, She should not stand in front of them; rather, She should stand in their midst."
