How to Perform/ offer Namaz/ Pray for Women

Namaz is the soul of all prayers. Therefore it is necessary to learn and understand namaz. Here I will tell you easy way to learn namaz step by step. Remember that you must perform wazoo in-order to offer namaz. Prayer positions of women are slightly different from then men. Women namaz is different in practical sense but not in spiritual sense. The number of prayers and prayer timings are the same. The differences in the Namaz of Women relate to clothing, concealment of body, posture and concealment of voice.

It is proven from the Quran and Hadith that the women should conceal their body and voice during prayer. Women should conceal their entire body except face, hands and soles of the feet. Wearing thin clothes or scarf in which the body of women is exposed make their prayer void. Women should not offer prayer in the state of impurity.
