Re: Hamza Yusuf: Permissible For Women To Lead Men In Prayer
The ijma’ is that women can’t lead mixed gender prayers, it does not negate the fact that ulema have debated over this issue centuries ago, that’s all the shaykh is saying, and if some people are okay with it they have a basis for it based on those hadith, it’s not legal according to the majority but there is an opinion.
It’s as simple as that.
