Question
If in a village the men are totally ignorant and unable to recite anything from the Qur'aan, will it be permissible for a knowledgeable woman to lead these ignorant men in Salaat?
Answer
It will never be permissible for a woman to lead men in Salaat regardless of how ignorant the men, and how knowledgeable the woman may be. The men's Salaat behind a woman will not be valid.
