Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner asks: Is the adhan and iqamah obligatory for a woman, just as they are for a man, especially if they are in the desert or on an outing in the wilderness?

Answer:
The adhan and iqamah are not obligatory for a woman, and it is not permissible for her to do so, because they are among the specific characteristics of men. Yes.
