Question
What is the reason for the dislike of a woman leading prayer in the Hanafi school?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Due to the dislike of their congregation; because if the congregation of women were prescribed, it would have become widespread and popular just like the congregation of men. Its lack of spread indicates its dislike, and because it involves the appearance of women and their prominence by raising their voices and advancing forward. A woman's prayer is based on modesty, and praying among women contradicts the nature of congregation. And God knows best.
