Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يُصَلِّيَانِ جَمِيعاً فِي بَيْتٍ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِ اَلرَّجُلِ بِحِذَاهُ قَالَ« لاَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُمَا شِبْرٌ أَوْ ذِرَاعٌ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ»
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Abdullah ibn Muskan from Abu Basir from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Him عليه السلام about a man and a woman who pray together in a house, with the woman at the man's right side, aligned with him. Imam عليه السلام said: “No, not unless there is between them a span (shibr), or an arm’s length (dhira‘), or something like that.”
