A Woman Correcting the Imam in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner, Zaynab, asks: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman to correct the imam if she is praying behind men, and the imam makes a mistake in the recitation or in the surah, and the men do not correct him, while the woman knows the correct recitation?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to raise her voice, even if the imam makes a mistake in the prayer, she does not say tasbih, but rather she claps one hand on the other. Yes.
