Best Answer

Women are allowed to be Imams during praying ( Salat) but when only women are praying. However, when there are praying men, Imam should be a man to avoid distraction of men during praying by listening to woman voice or gazing at her body during bowing down. For the same reason, during praying, women are required to be seated either in rear rows or in a separate space not visible to men. You may find also also no prophet since Adam was a woman. Also, never the Pope was a woman.
