How is it different??? How is the prayer of man different than the prayer of woman.. Maybe this is a hanafi thing... I don't recall men having a different prayer than women in the other madhabs... I heard about this in the hanafi madhab but not the others... I did hear that ibn Abu Sujah text mentions something about according to the Shafi madhab, but that is the only book with anything about it in the Shafi madhab if my memory serves me right... Generally men and women pray the same...
