Question

In terms of the Maaliki Math-hab, is Taraaweeh Salaat of the wife valid behind her husband?

Answer

According to the Hanafi Math-hab, if females are performing Taraaweeh or any Fardh Salaat behind the Imaam, it is necessary for him to make niyyat of being their Imaam. If he does not make this niyyat, the Salaat of the females behind him will not be valid. The same applies according to the Maaliki Math-hab. The husband who is the Imaam should make niyyat of imamate.
