What should I do if I made a minor mistake during my prayer? Should I repeat the prayer, or can I proceed with Sajda Sahw?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It depends on the mistake. If the mistake was unintentional and does not involve basic obligatory acts of Salah, then Salah is valid. If write clearly what was the situation, the reply will be more clear.

In congregational prayers, why are women required to stand behind men in the prayer rows? Does this not seem unfair to women? Shouldn't the rows for men and women be positioned next to one another?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is important to keep the respect of women not to bow in Ruku' and prostrate in Sujood in front of men. Men should not see the women bowing down or prostrating. The rows of women should be behind the rows of men.
