Q
How does the concept of ghaira (self-respect) relate to the practices of women attending congregational prayers?


A

One of the wives of `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the `Isha’ prayer in
congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that
`Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, “What prevents him from
stopping me from this act?” The other replied, “The statement of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) : ‘Do not
stop Allah’s women-slaves from going to Allah’s Mosques’ prevents him.”
