Is it permissible for a woman to say in supplication, "I am Your slave"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: In some hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
When a slave is struck by worry or sadness, then he says: "O Allah, I am Your slave, the son of Your slave, my forelock is in Your hand, my judgment is carried out in me, Your decree over me is just."ما أصاب عبدًا هم ولا حزن ثم قال: اللهم إني عبدك وابن عبدك ناصيتي بيدك ماض فيّ حكمك عدل فيَّ قضاؤك
etc., does a woman say "Your slave" or "Your female slave," and in some similar supplications?
A: The matter is broad in this, if Allah wills, and it is better for her to say, "O Allah, I am Your female slave, the daughter of Your slave, and the daughter of Your female slave..." etc., and this is more appropriate and closer to her. If she supplicates with the wording that came in the hadith, it will not harm, if Allah wills; because even though she is a female slave, she is also a slave among the slaves of Allah.
