Question: Does the reward decrease if a woman prays and completes the supplications which are recited after prayer and she is working in the house because of her circumstances? She does not have a servant and her children are playing and prevent her from completing it in her prayer place. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: “There is no harm for a Muslim to recite the remembrances which after recited after prayer and he/she is busying with his/her work. Allah says:
فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَوةُ فَانتَشِرُواْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَابْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُواْ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Then when the Salah is complete, you may disperse through the land, and seek the bounty of Allah, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful
[62:10]
And Allah says:
فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَوةَ فَاذْكُرُواْ اللَّهَ قِيَـماً وَقُعُوداً وَعَلَى جُنُوبِكُمْ
When you have finished the Salah, remember Allah standing, sitting down, and on your sides,
[4:103]
Her reciting these remembrances while sitting in her prayer place is better if that is easy for her”.
