Question
Hello Rabbi, Is a married woman obligated to pray? Shacharit, Mincha, Arvit? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
Women are obligated in Shacharit and Mincha, and are exempt from Arvit.
A woman who is busy with her home, raising her children, or attending to her husband's needs is exempt from the current prayer, as one engaged in a mitzvah.
