Is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud in the loud prayers and 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 distinction in this matter. If the woman is in her home with her mahrams and there is no strange man present, she should recite aloud, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Woman are counterpart of men. إنَّما النِّساء شقائق الرجال
Sunan Abi Dawud 236
. However, if there is a strange man who can hear her voice, she should raise her voice only to the extent that she can hear herself, and not to the extent that someone far away from her can hear her.
Yes.
