975 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ «صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَبِي، فَأَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَصَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ خَلْفَنَا»

a. It is not lawful for a single man to stand behind the Imâm for prayer, but lawful for a single woman. b. It does not matter whether a woman is a Mahram (of a close unmarriageable relationship) or non-Mahram, the rule in this regard is the same. She must not stand by the side of a man.
