Luqmah (correction) of a mahram woman in salaah
Question
Can the imam accept the luqma given by a mahram woman who is praying behind him, if the imam makes mistake in the qiraat. Is the namaz valid or becomes void?
Answer
Her luqma will be by striking her fingers on to the back of the palm. The imaam can accept this type of a luqmah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
