The Ruling on the Adhan and Iqamah for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to perform the adhan and iqamah for prayer, or not?
A: It is not prescribed for a woman to call the adhan or the iqamah in her prayer; this is the affair of men. As for women, it is not prescribed for them to call the adhan or the iqamah; rather, they pray without an adhan or iqamah. They must pay attention to the time, maintain humility, and avoid fidgeting during the prayer, just as a man does. A woman must be humble, lower her gaze toward the place of her prostration, and stay away from fidgeting, whether with her hands or otherwise. This is the Sunnah for the believer in his prayer, and likewise for the believing woman.
And success is from Allah.
