وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

I asked Sheikh Jum'an Lahmar (one of Sheikh Muqbil's students based in Seiyun, Yemen) this question today, and he said: “Yes, so long as she fulfils the conditions stated in the hadeeth.” Note: Sitting close to the khateeb in the case of women would be that she sits in the women's section as close to the front row as possible. What's best for women? https://t.me/madrasatuna/1888
