Question
Hello,
I wanted to ask if women are obligated to pray and keep prayer times like men or not?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
The early authorities debated whether women are obligated to pray Shacharit and Mincha or only to say some form of request.
They are exempt from Maariv [since its primary status is voluntary. However, men accepted it as obligatory, while women did not].
