Riyad as-Salihin 1084 (Book 8, Hadith 94) #37573
Prayer Rows and Gender

SUMMARY: The best row for men in prayer is the first row and the worst is the last, while for women it is reversed.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "The best of the men's rows (in Salat) is the first row and the worst is the last; but the best of the woman's row is the last and the worst of their rows is the first". Muslim.
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏خير صفوف الرجال أولها، وشرها آخرها، وخير صفوف النساء آخرها، وشرها أولها‏"‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray with respect towards one another by having different rows for each gender.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that when praying, men should be in the first row and women should be in the last. This shows that men are to take a leadership role when it comes to prayer, as they are closer to Allah than women. It also shows that both genders have an important role to play in prayer, as each has their own place of importance. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us about respect between genders; by having different rows for each gender we can show respect towards one another during prayer.
