Is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud in the loud prayers or in the iqamah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud in the loud prayers or in the iqamah?

The Shaykh : There is a detailed ruling on this: If the woman is in her home among her mahram (relatives one may not marry) and there is no stranger to her, she should recite aloud, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Woman are counterpart of men. إنما النساء شقائق الرجال
Sunan Abi Dawud 236
However, if there is a stranger who can hear her voice, she should raise her voice only to the extent that she can hear herself and not be heard by anyone far from her. Yes.
