Summary
A woman may call the adhan and iqamah when praying among women only or when praying alone. When men are part of the congregation, whether they are mahram or not, a woman may not recite the iqamah, since the iqamah takes the ruling of the adhan in most cases. Therefore, when praying as a pair with her husband, the wife is not to recite it and the husband should do so.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, mengambil kira bahawa iqamah mengambil hukum azan dalam banyak keadaan maka kami menyatakan bahawa tidak boleh untuk orang perempuan iqamah dengan keberadaan orang lelaki sama ada lelaki tersebut merupakan mahram baginya ataupun bukan.
