The Adhan, Iqamah, and Congregational Prayer for Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the adhan and iqamah obligatory for a woman as they are for a man? And is it permissible for women to pray in congregation at work, in the school?

Answer:
As for their praying in congregation with one of them leading, there is nothing wrong with that. As for the adhan and iqamah, there is no adhan or iqamah for them. There is no adhan or iqamah for women, because this is a characteristic of men. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
