Woman leading the Mixed Prayer
Question asked by Adnan Zulfiqar.
Posted on: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - Hits: 2221
Question:
What is Ghamidi’s opinion on the recent case where a woman led a mixed gendered ‘Jummah’ prayer in New York?
Answer:
According to Ghamidi's opinion, we do not find any prohibition for this in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say that Islam has disallowed women from leading the mixed prayer. However, this practice is against Muslim tradition and custom, which itself is based on a value structure. True, all traditions are not sacred and it is not always necessary to follow them, but there must be some genuine need to break them. Mere feminism, according to Ghamidi, should not be the basis of breaking this custom.
