Ruling on adhaan and iqaamah for women
http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/26332
Do women have to recite the iqaamah for prayer and give the adhaan if they are praying alone at home or in a gathering of women?
Praise be to Allaah.
That is not obligatory for them and it is not prescribed for them, according to the correct scholarly view, because that was not required of women at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so women did not do that at that time or at the time of the Rightly-Guided khaleefahs (may Allaah be pleased with them). And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Do women have to pronounce the adhaan and iqaamah?
http://islamqa.com/en/ref/20225
Please can you tell me if it is obligatory for women to call the iqamaah before they pray alone or in congretion with other sisters.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: Is it prescribed in sharee’ah that a woman should say the iqaamah when she is leading other women in prayer?
They replied:
It is not prescribed for women to say the iqaamah for prayer, whether they are praying individually or one woman leads the others in prayer, just as it is not prescribed for them to say the adhaan.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Is it permissible for a woman to do the adhaan and iqaamah for prayer or not?
The shaykh replied:
It is not prescribed for women to pronounce the adhaan or iqaamah for prayer, rather that is for men. Neither the adhaan nor the iqaamah is prescribed for women, rather they should pray without the adhaan or the iqaamah.

Islam Q&A
The iqaamah for women
http://www.fatwa-online.com/fataawa/worship/prayer/9991018_83.htm
Question: When the women gather to perform the prayer, do they make the iqaamah for the prayer?
Response: If they make the iqaamah, there is no harm in that. If they do not do so, there is no harm in that either. This is because the adhan and iqaamah are only obligatory upon the men.

Fataawa al-Mar.ah
The adhaan and iqaamah for the women
http://www.fatwa-online.com/fataawa/worship/prayer/0050807.htm
Question: Is the adhaan and the iqaamah obligatory upon the women or is it (merely) recommended?
Response: We have said (many) times that with respect to rulings and (their) definition the Sharee'ah applies to both the man and woman equally. So (the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)) said:
((Indeed the women are the twins of the men))
So there is no differing in the Sharee'ah rulings with respect to the prayer, the fasting, the ablution, the hajj and the like. So all that has been obligated upon the men has (likewise) been obligated upon the women except where there exists an exception. So based upon this, the ruling will remain general (with respect to both the man and the woman) unless a specific ruling exists.
Question: (So) do you mean it is obligatory upon them (the women)?
Response: Everything that Allaah has obligated upon the man, then it is (likewise) obligatory upon the women, and everything He has prohibited for the man then he has (likewise) prohibited for the woman, and everything he has permitted for the men then (likewise) it is permissible for the women, except where the text (of the Qur.aan and/or the Sunnah) has dictated (otherwise). So for example, silk is prohibited for the men, but the text (of the Qur.aan and/or the Sunnah) has dictated its permissibility for the women, and likewise.
