Fatwa #197220 January 2001United Kingdom

Are men and women allowed to read Salaat together?

Question

I was once told by an Alim that a man cannot pray salaat in the same room as a women at home unless it is the wife of the individual due to purdah. Could you please explain this Mas'alah according to Shariah and is it a correct view.

Answer

It is not permissible for Ghayr Mahram (strange) males and females to
perform Salaat in one room without a Hijaab (curtain). Ghayr Mahram males
and females must observe Hijaab from one another.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
