The answer

The correct view is that there is no difference between the prayer of a man and a woman, due to the generality of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "(Pray as you have seen me praying)." This applies unless there is specific textual evidence to differentiate. Thus, a woman is like a man in bowing (ruku'), prostrating (), reciting (qira'ah), and the placement of the hands. However, the (call to prayer) and (second call to prayer) are specific to men. A woman may recite aloud in the Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers.
