May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for women to pray in congregation led by a woman, or is it not permissible?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in them praying in congregation led by one of their own women; for Umm Warakah used to lead the people of her household in prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded her to lead the people of her household in prayer.

May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says:
