Is it possible for a woman to be Imam al-jama’a for women?

Question

I know that majority of Shia Marja’al-Taqlid considered it as a permissible issue for women to stand as the Imam-al-Jama’ah for women. (Not for men)/www.islamquest.net

But I’d like to know if it is possible for a woman to be Imam al-Jama’a? ( for wajib prayer(Salat))

Note: I am looking for the viewpoint of Sunni brothers.

Answer 1

The majority allow it. There of the four schools, Shafi, Hanafi and Hanabils allow a woman to lead a woman only congregations. The Hanafi consider it Makrooh. The Malikis say it is not allowed.
