Question
Is it permissible to pray in the women's gallery, which is ten meters above the men's section, and join the congregation? What are the sources?
Answer
It is preferable to go down and pray in the men's section if it is possible without undue effort. [If there are ten people in the women's gallery, even though the cantor is below, it is permissible initially].
Source
Mishnah Berurah (Siman 55, Se'if Katan 52).
