Who Should Say Iqamah at Home Congregation: Man or Woman?

Method of Iqāmah at Home: By Man or Woman?

❓ Question

If at home there is only one man and his wife, then during congregational prayer who should say the Iqāmah (takbīr)? Should the man himself say it, or can the woman say it?

✔ Answer

Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, ʿammā baʿd!

There is no authentic ḥadīth known to me in which it is mentioned that a woman gave the adhān or the iqāmah.
