The Adhan and Iqamah for Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory for a woman to give the adhan and iqamah, just as it is for a man?

Answer:
No, it is forbidden for her to do so. The adhan and iqamah are among the specific characteristics of men, not women. Yes.
