Places Where Prayer is Permissible and Where it is Not Permissible
وَ رَوَى جَمِيلٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ بِحِذَاءِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ هُوَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَ عَائِشَةُ مُضْطَجِعَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ وَ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ غَمَزَ رِجْلَيْهَا فَرَفَعَتْ رِجْلَيْهَا حَتَّى يَسْجُدَ.
Jamil narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام in which He said: "There is no harm if a woman prays beside a man while he is praying. Indeed, The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would pray while Aisha was lying down in front of him, even though She was menstruating. When he wanted to prostrate, he would touch her legs, and She would move them so that he could prostrate."
