Prayer of a woman with her husband

Question to Sheikh Saalih al-Fawzaan about where a wife should stand when praying with her husband alone.

Student: Fadilatu-shaykh, may Allaah grant you success he says: When the woman prays the salaatul-jama'ah with her husband, should she stand next to him, or is it permissible for her to step back and pray behind him?

Answer: No. The woman prays next to her husband aligned with him - nothing is wrong with this. Rather, this occurs with a non-related woman who is not from his mahaarim (pl. mahram) - she should be behind him. Even though there exists differences about this matter. Yes. Nonetheless, she should pray behind him. Yes.
