Friday Prayers ~ Male and Female Views

[X-press]

Friday prayer (Jumah) is very important in Islam and is compulsory for all adult male Muslims. It is not obligatory for women, children, seriously ill people and travelers to perform 'jumah prayer', but they can still do it.

For all the Sabla male Muslims:

1) Do you always pray jumah?

2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?

3) At what age did you start performing this specific prayer?
For all the Sabla female Muslims:

1) Though it is not an obligation for you, do you sometimes perform jumah at a mosque?

2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?

3) Do you think it is better for a woman to still perform jumah, even if it is not obligatory for her?

umm No, i remember only going for Jumah Prayers once or twice only.

2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?
Usually with family (Mum and Sister or Aunts) during ramadhan and other occasions.. but not friday prayers..

3) Do you think it is better for a woman to still perform jumah, even if it is not obligatory for her?
I prefer praying at home.. coz usually the mosque during Jumah prayer is so packed with men and hardly to find a parking near by! Since its not an obligation for women most of women prefer praying at home..

Yes alhamdulillah.



2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?

Most of the time alone.

I don't really remember.

Yes

I'd call on relatives and we'll all go together...Aunts, uncles, cousins...

3) Do you think it is better for a woman to still perform jumah, even if it is not obligatory for her?
Ofcourse it's better , praying in Jama3a is really the best , plus praying at the mosque gives u a really nice feeling

1) Though it is not an obligation for you, do you sometimes perform jumah at a mosque?

No, I dont remmber ever going to pray Jummah in masjid

2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?
I only pray in a masjid when we are out of the house and time of prayers has come, otherwise we usually pray togther with my female relatives at home.

3) Do you think it is better for a woman to still perform jumah, even if it is not obligatory for her?
Like Sophis has explained, its better for a woman to pray at her own home and she wont be getting an extra thawab for going to jammah as long as I know .. so, its better and easier to pray at home!

1) Though it is not an obligation for you, do you sometimes perform jumah at a mosque?

Never pray Jumah in mosque ..... sometimes for taraweeh

2) If yes, do you usually go alone to the mosque or with a relative/friend?

With my mother and sister .... sometimes friends and usually in Ramadhan for taraweeh

3) Do you think it is better for a woman to still perform jumah, even if it is not obligatory for her?

As long as its not obligate for women to pray jumah in mosque so praying in her house is better
