Does a woman wait for the iqamah of the prayer from the mosque before she prays?

Question:
Sister Su'ad (M. M.) from the city of Ibb sent a message containing four questions. In one of her questions, she says: Is it permissible for a woman who prays in her home to pray before the iqamah of the prayer in the mosque? I pray before the iqamah; and that is because I have not been able to perform most of the Fajr prayers except as qada' (making up a missed act of worship). The reason for this is that I hear the adhan and get up, but often drowsiness overcomes me, and I fall asleep and do not wake up until the time for the prayer has passed. This is because I wait a long time for the imam to give the iqamah. However, I preferred to ask so that I may act upon what I hear from you. May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
You must pray when the time enters, and you are not required to wait for the imam. This has no basis. A woman's prayer is independent; she prays before the imam or after the imam. It has no connection to the imam. So when the time enters, pray and do not wait for the imam. This is something with no basis. A woman's prayer is independent, not tied to the imam of the men. So do not wait for him, but pray, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
