Namaz, or prayer in Islam, is a strictly regulated action. Not only the number and time of prayers are determined, but also the direction in which the believer should turn to Allah, clothing and other aspects. Their own characteristics exist for certain categories of people, including girls. What are they?

Instructions
Step 1
Perform a small ablution before prayer. This concept includes washing the face, ears, neck, hands and feet. It should be borne in mind that, according to many religious authorities, ablution is not considered valid if a woman's nails are varnished. It must first be erased.
In the absence of water, the so-called "ablution with sand" is allowed. This ritual was developed for desert conditions, and is usually not relevant for Russia.
Step 2
Wear Islamic clothing. It should cover the entire body, except for the face and hands, and at the same time should not be clothed, nor too bright, nor transparent.
Step 3
Perform prayer in a mosque or home. The second option is considered more preferable for a woman, but if the mosque has a special room for women to pray, you can perform a religious ceremony there as well. For women, as well as for men, a fivefold prayer is obligatory.
Step 4
The process of prayer is also different for a woman. If a man during prayer while pronouncing the words "Allah Akbar!" raises her arms up, then the woman should leave her elbows pressed to the body. She should be more restrained in her movements. Also, when pronouncing the san'a prayer, a woman should fold her hands not on her stomach, like men, but on her chest.
Step 5
There is a specificity for girls and in performing the earthly bows "sajda". A woman should press her elbows against her torso, and the body itself should be as close to the ground as possible. After completing this bow, the woman sits on her knees, leaning on her hip, and not her leg, like a man. At the same time, the text of the prayer for girls and for men is completely identical, the specificity concerns only some of the movements.
