The position of the woman when she leads the women in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A questioner from Los Angeles says in his question: Where does the woman stand when she leads the women in prayer? Is there a difference of opinion among the schools of jurisprudence on this matter? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

A: The woman stands in the middle of their row, as 'A'ishah and Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with them both) did, so that she does not imitate the men in this. I am not aware of any disagreement among the scholars on this. It is recommended for her to recite aloud in the prayers where recitation is loud, just as the man does, because of the great benefit in that. And success is from Allah.
