Question

Are women allowed to offer salah infront of non-mahrams?

Answer

The namaaz will be valid. If there is no other option but to perform it in an open place then it will not be wrong, like performing namaaz in a public airport.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Who are a woman's mahrams?

“This is not permissible. If the woman is not your mahram, then this is obviously haraam and if the woman is your mahram e.g. your mother or sister then too this is not permissible and is against the Islamic teachings.”
