The Manner of Women Praying in Congregation

Question:
The last question asks: Can one of the women lead the others in prayer, and how should she stand? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If it is possible to have someone lead them, that is better. They should learn and benefit. She should stand in the middle of them, with some women to her right and some to her left; she should not stand in front of them, but rather in the middle, with people to her right and people to her left. She should raise her voice in recitation so that they can benefit, in the Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers, just as a man does. She should admonish them if that is possible, remind them, and teach them after the prayer or before the prayer, with them standing to her right, left, and behind her. They should choose the best among them, the one who recites best and is most virtuous. If each woman prays alone, there is no blame on her. Praise be to Allah.
