Thoughts on women leading the salah? | Mufti Abu Layth

Um, so absolutely. Somebody said to what what do I think about women leading? I think the salah is fine. Salah is valid. I don't think the salah is invalid um, if women lead the prayer. But, I mean, I can understand why I know people will say, "Look, people will say that you know, but you should tell men not to think like that."

You know, but how does one tell thought how to think? You see, if if men are just praying, it's just the nature. This is I think it's just because the Imam is a dignified role. And in all honesty, I'm just being honest, if a woman men are just going to be men at the end of the day. And you know, whether they say or not, whether they're like Subhanallah.

Tasbih. Tasbih. It's This one not nice, you know. No nice, you know. This one teasing too much. Nobody's going to Only the Imam is in ruku. Everybody else behind is just still. They're like in deep contemplation over the creation of God.

They've like reached another stage of exultant ecstasy. But, I think this is why just out of that kind of dignity. Although people could say, "Look, yeah, but men shouldn't really think like that." Up God can hear, you know, it's like like I that who's going to control the thoughts?

This one, this one rebel without cause, you know, or no, free thought, free thought. Yeah. And then somebody goes and then the Imam goes into Sajdah. Everybody's like, and there's like a pin drop silence. Everybody just like in that seriousness of, you know, like, you know what Nietzsche said that there's that the the way there's, you know, the seriousness that is found with children at play when they when they they said that there's the

intimations of the divine in it. And that is the ultimate maturity, Nietzsche said, to regain the seriousness that a man once had as a child during play. Wah, wah, wah, wah.
