The questioner : Now, regarding the prayer of women in this case, is the iqamah obligatory for them or not?
The Shaykh : There is scholarly disagreement on this matter: whether the iqamah is prescribed for a congregation of women or not.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The closer view is that it is prescribed, because it serves as a notification to begin the prayer. Whenever we pray in congregation, they need to be notified to begin the prayer.
