Primary text

Women perform the communal Takbir along with men in congregation. This ruling is supported by the practice of women praying behind 'Aban bin 'Uthman and 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz, where they recited Takbir during the Nights of Tashreeq alongside the men in the mosque, as reported by Al-Bukhari.
