According to the preponderant opinion, it is permissible for a woman to lead other women in prayer. The prayer becomes a congregational one with one of them leading the other. The imamate should be for the one among you who has a better memorization of the Qur'an and a deeper understanding of the religion. The one being led in prayer must follow the Imam in everything, including the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw). Both of them must learn the rulings of prayer and what entails from them.
