Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Muhammad from Rabigh, please, my sister Umm Muhammad. Please, the question. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah keep you safe. Turn the television down a little, Umm Muhammad. Yes, Muhammad. Please, please. I am asking the Shaykh: Is it permissible for a woman to call the adhan in prayer, or not? Because I asked you before if a woman is allowed to call the adhan and iqamah at the same time by herself? Okay, thank you. And. The question is: Is it permissible for me to give charity on behalf of my sister-in-law’s son, who has passed away? And third, is it permissible to pray the eclipse prayer at home or not? Okay, may Allah give you well-being. Thank you, Shaykh Salih, is it permissible for a woman to call the adhan and iqamah?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so, because this has not been reported in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, the adhan and iqamah are prescribed for men in the case of men.
