Can I Lead My Wife in the Tahajjud, Duha and Awwabin Prayers?

Question:

Can I Lead My Wife in the Tahajjud, Duha and Awwabin Prayers?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. May Allah reward you infinitely for wanting to establish a spiritual environment in your home and wishing to worship with your wife. A family that prays together stays together!

Group Prayer

The Reliance of the Traveller mentions that it is superior to pray the duha (midmorning) prayer in the mosque. All other sunna prayers are best prayed at home. The prayers that you mentioned should not be prayed in a group, but instead, alone.

May Allah give you the best of this world and the next.
