Placing of Hands during Salaat

Q:

Salaam,
I have question about the placing of hands during salaat, I understand that men have to place their hands by their side, is this also the case for women, my wife said she has read a book by Ayatollah Khomeini that has ladies pictured with hands on their bosom during salaat,
Could you please clarify what is correct.

A:

As per Shia jurisprudence, there is no difference in placing of hands during Salat  for male and female.
