Dream - The call to prayer that we have heard in our daily lives as a reminder of prayer time has always been recited by men. The call to prayer is amplified by loudspeakers in the mosque so that it can reach faraway places. It should be noted that a valid condition for the call to prayer is that it should be recited by men. This is because the congregational prayer consists of both men and women. However, on certain occasions, it is sometimes found that there are communities that consist only of women. During their activities, congregational prayers are usually also performed.

"Women do not need to perform the azan even if they are praying together with other women. However, if someone performs the azan and they only do the iqamah, then it is allowed. They should also not raise their voices during the azan. If the azan is audible enough for them and their female friends, the same applies to the iqamah." (See Muhammad bin Idris As-Syafii, Al-Umm, [Beirut: Darul Ma'rifah, 1393 H], page 84) Through Imam Shafi'i's explanation, it can be concluded that women indeed do not need to perform the azan."

However, if there is an azan and iqamah, it is allowed with the condition that the voice is not raised. Especially if it is like the azan that is recited by men and heard by men. The opinion of Imam Shafi'i is also supported by several scholars, namely Al-Buwaithi, Abu Hamid, Qadhi Abu Thayyib, Al-Mahamily in his two books. So, based on the opinion of Imam Shafi'i and the majority of scholars, it is recommended for women to perform the iqomah when they want to perform congregational prayer with other women. As for the azan, it is allowed with the condition that it is not loud and is heard only by the female congregation. And Allah knows best.
