   When the husband is leading prayer, is it permissible for the Mother to pray alongside her children?  Sons included?  

I know she must pray behind the Imam, but when they are her sons can she pray beside them or must she move to even behind them?

	Hi Angela The general ruling is: Father - leads the prayer The Sons in the first row The mother and daughters in the next row - if no daughters the mother stands alone in the last row.
