Is it permissible for a woman to make the call to prayer (adhan) if there is no one else available?

Women are not required to call the adhan (call to prayer) or the iqamah (second call to prayer). A woman may call the adhan for herself or for a group of women in a low voice, but it is not legislated for her to call the adhan to invite people to congregational prayer. This falls between being haram (forbidden) and makruh (disliked). The adhan by a woman is disliked according to the agreed-upon narrations of the Hanafis. The apparent view of the Maliki school is that a woman's adhan is disliked, and some of them deemed her adhan in the presence of men as forbidden. Imam Shafi'i said that a woman does not call the adhan, and her adhan is not sufficient for men. The preponderant view is the prohibition of a woman calling the adhan for men, because it is an innovation (muhdathat) and because it involves exposing oneself to fitnah (temptation). The adhan by a woman for men is not valid according to the majority of jurists. The Hanafis consider the adhan valid, though disliked. The correct view is that women should not call the adhan for men, because it is an innovation that was not practiced by the early Muslims, and because the adhan requires raising one's voice and being conspicuous, which is prohibited for women.
