Question About Salah

Alhamdulillah, my dad wants to learn how to pray, so we prayed Fajr together. But then I read online that a woman can't lead a man in salah, and now I'm worried-we stood side by side, so I don't know if it was valid. Any advice?

Sis, don't stress! Your intention was pure and you're teaching your dad, that's huge. The scholars say for teaching, it's allowed with necessities. May Allah accept it and guide your dad.

You're such a good daughter mashaAllah. As long as you didn't intentionally lead, standing side by side while he learns should be fine inshaAllah. Maybe next time let him stand slightly ahead.

MashaAllah, your dad is so blessed to have you. From what I know, in the Hanafi school a woman can't lead a man, but you weren't leading, just praying together. Better to have him lead or stand behind next time for safety.
