The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ أَذَانٌ وَ لاَ إِقَامَةٌ إِذَا سَمِعَتْ أَذَانَ اَلْقَبِيلَةِ وَ تَكْفِيهَا اَلشَّهَادَتَانِ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا أَذَّنَتْ وَ أَقَامَتْ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ.
In another report, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "A woman is not required to perform the adhan (call to prayer) or the iqamah (call to commence prayer) if She hears the adhan of her locality. The two testimonies (shahadatayn) are sufficient for her. However, if She chooses to give the adhan and iqamah, it is better."
