Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister asking says: Shaykh, is the adhan and iqamah obligatory for a woman in her home? The matter has become confused for us, and we want the answer.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to call the adhan or to give the iqamah for prayer; this is the affair of the men, specific to the men. As for the woman, she prays without an adhan or iqamah. It is sufficient for her to hear the adhan from the mosques if she is in a town. If she is not in a town and does not hear an adhan, she prays without an adhan and without an iqamah, because Allah has not prescribed an adhan or iqamah for women. Yes.
