Is it permissible for a woman to recite the adhan and iqamah for prayer, or not?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our companion here also asks and says: Is it permissible for a woman to recite the adhan and iqamah for prayer, or not?
Answer: It is not prescribed for a woman to recite the adhan or iqamah in her prayer; this is the concern of men. As for women, it is not prescribed for them to recite the adhan or iqamah; rather, they pray without adhan or iqamah. They must pay attention to the time, maintain humility, and avoid fidgeting during the prayer, just as a man must. She must be humble, lower her gaze to the place of her prostration, and stay away from fidgeting, whether with her hands or otherwise. This is the Sunnah for the believer in his prayer, and likewise for the believing woman.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
