Is the reward for a woman praying in congregation the same as the reward for a man?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Does a woman praying in congregation with other women, for example in a school, have the same virtue as the congregation of men? That is, is it twenty-seven degrees better than praying alone?

Answer:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that she receives the reward of the congregation, even though the hadiths are generally directed at men. A man’s prayer in congregation is twenty-seven or twenty-five degrees better than praying alone. Women are included in this, so they receive the reward of the congregation. This is to be hoped for, if Allah wills. If Allah wills. Yes.
