Prayers of males and females, etc.

Question

1) Is the prayer of male and female or is there any difference?2) What is the ruling for following the four Imams?3) Are we allowed to work in a supermarket?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

There is no difference between the way of performing the prayer of a man and a woman.
However, some scholars are of the opinion that it is better for a woman to adopt in Ruku and Sujood a position that completely covers her body, leaving none of her body exposed, but there is no supporting evidence for that as per our knowledge.
The ruling of working in a supermarket is subject to the work to be done. If the market sells alcohol, pork or other forbidden things then working there is forbidden, since a worker helps and shares in these forbidden activities; otherwise, working there is permissible.
Allah knows best.
