Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَؤُمُّ اَلنِّسَاءَ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ فِي اَلْفَرِيضَةِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ صَبِيٌّ فَلْيَقُمْ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ»
Al-Husayn from Fadalah from Hammad ibn Uthman from Ibrahim ibn Maymun from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked regarding a man leading women in prayer, while there is no other man with them, in the obligatory prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes, and if there is a boy with him, then let him stand beside him.”
