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

Al-‘Ayyashi from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, who said: Al-‘Amraki narrated to me from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother Musa ibn Ja‘far (peace be upon them), who said: I asked Him عليه السلام about an Imam (of prayer) who was leading the noon prayer, and his wife stood beside him and prayed with him, thinking it was the afternoon (‘Asr) prayer. Does that invalidate the prayer of the congregation? And what is the ruling of the woman’s prayer with them, considering she had already prayed the noon prayer? Imam عليه السلام said: “That does not invalidate the prayer of the congregation, but the woman must repeat her prayer.”
