The Ruling on the Adhan and Iqamah for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner, Musa Ahmad, asks: Is it prescribed for women to recite the adhan and the iqamah, whether they are in a settled area alone, or in the wilderness alone or in a group?
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden for a woman to recite the adhan or the iqamah; this is a characteristic of men. Yes.
The presenter:
Even in congregational prayer, they do not pray in congregation.
The Shaykh:
There is no adhan or iqamah required of a woman. If she recites the adhan, it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
