A Woman Leading Men in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man is asking, and he says: A clip has circulated showing a woman leading men in prayer. Is this permissible? And is there any of the four schools of jurisprudence that said it is permissible?

Answer:
Never. And in the hadith
No woman should be appointed as Imam over a manلا تؤمن امرأة رجلا
Sunan Ibn Majah 1081Da’if (Darussalam)
This is the exclusive domain of men.
