Does a woman pray aloud like a man?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a woman recite aloud in the loud prayers, just as a man does? There has been disagreement among some of the students of knowledge, and some of them said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
This is for the woman. As for the man, we ask for clarification of the truth in this matter?

Answer:
What appears to us is that there is no obstacle; she prays and recites aloud in the Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr prayers, just as the man does. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
The rulings are the same for men and women, except where evidence specifies a particular ruling for the man or the woman. Otherwise, the original principle is that they are equal in rulings: their prayer is one, their zakah is one, and their Hajj is one.
