Lady Leading Taraweeh

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: 1. Can a Haafidha (female who memorised the Quran) lead other girls in salaah (i.e. be imaam)?

2. Can a girl or haafida performing Taraweeh on her own read loud?

A: Salaah in Jamaat for ladies with one lady as Imam is Makrooh tahreemi, even in Taraaweeh. (Durr V1 P609).

She can read so loud that she can hear herself.
