A Woman Leading Women in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible for women to appoint one of themselves as an imam to lead them in prayer, both in Ramadan and at other times?

A: Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. It has been narrated from Aisha, Umm Salama, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) what indicates this. The woman leading the women stands in the middle of them and recites aloud in the prayers where recitation is loud. And success is from Allah.
