A non-Muslim entering upon a Muslim while praying has no effect on the prayer Fatwa No: 45320
- Fatwa Date:15-1-2014
Is the prayer of a Muslim woman invalidated when a non-Muslim woman enters upon her? Is her prayer valid or does she need to repeat it?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
The prayer of a Muslim woman is not invalidated when a non-Muslim woman enters upon her. The scholars did not consider that this invalidated prayer.
Allaah Knows best.
