سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَؤُمُّ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ إِذَا كُنَّ جَمِيعاً أَمَّتْهُنَّ فِي النَّافِلَةِ فَأَمَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةُ فَلَا وَ لَا تَقَدَّمْهُنَّ وَ لَكِنْ تَقُومُ وَسَطاً مِنْهُنَّ .
Translation
A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat, from Ibn Sinan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the woman leading the women (in <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When they have gathered, she can lead them in the optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>). But, as for the Obligatory (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>), so no; and she should not preceded them (to be in front), but she should be standing in the middle of them’.
