Is it permissible for women to pray behind men in two connected rooms, such that the women only hear the voice of the Imam and have a screen to see him, and is it permissible to follow the Imam in this situation?

It is permissible for women—while in their room—to follow an Imam in another room, by relying on seeing the Imam, or hearing his voice, or seeing the movements of the congregants. There is no need for a television.
