Ruling 916

The adhān and iqāmah of congregational prayers must be said by a man. However, in congregational prayers of women, if a woman says adhān and iqāmah, it is sufficient. Sufficing with the adhān and iqāmah said by a woman in a congregational prayer in which the men present are her maḥram is problematic [i.e. based on obligatory precaution, it does not suffice].
