Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي عِنْدَ اَلرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ« لاَ تُصَلِّي اَلْمَرْأَةُ بِحِيَالِ اَلرَّجُلِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قُدَّامَهَا وَ لَوْ بِصَدْرِهِ»
From him, from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from ‘Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman praying near a man. Imam عليه السلام said: "A woman should not pray directly in line with a man, unless he is in front of her, even if only by the length of his chest."
