I asked Sheikh Jum'an Lahmar (one of Sheikh Muqbil's students based in Seiyun, Yemen) this question today, and he said:
“Yes, so long as she fulfils the conditions stated in the hadeeth.”
Note:
Sitting close to the khateeb in the case of women would be that she sits in the women's section as close to the front row as possible.
What's best for women?

Jumu'ah is most people's favourite day of the week; the evildoer yearns for it to fulfil his desires while the believer yearns to please The Almighty

To fast or not to fast?
✅ If you are someone who was already in the habit of fasting Mondays and Thursdays prior to Rajab, then don't let anyone stop you. Continue fasting, and may Allah reward you. Certainly, the most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are continual - even if they are small.
🚫 However, if you had no habit of fasting prior to this month, then don't let anyone fool you into prioritising…
1⃣. Offering sacrifice specifically in this month
Abu Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu anhu narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No Far’. No ‘Ateerah.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Both were types of sacrifices offered by the Mushriks to their false deities; Far’ being the first child of the cattle and ’Ateerah being the sacrifice offered specifically in the month of Rajab.
So those who slaughter in the month of Rajab specifically are…
Rajab (the 7th month of the Lunar calendar) is one of four sacred months. Aside from this, everything you find being circulated about the virtues of Rajab is either very weak or fabricated, or innovations and superstitions which people have introduced. So if there's anything good you should increase in during this month, it would have to be forbidding the spread of such innovations.
2 - Rajab - 1444 H.
Why are you not then shy of Allah’s angels who keep watch of every move that you make?
(وَإِنَّ عَلَیۡكُمۡ لَحَـٰفِظِینَ كِرَامࣰا كَـٰتِبِینَ یَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ)
“Verily, you are certainly observed by vigilant, honourable angels, recording ˹everything˺. They know whatever you do.”
[Surah Al-Infitar 10 - 12]
You are shy of people, yet your shame to engage in these acts before the King of all Kings; the most severe in punishment (Allah)!

The hadeeth of العَجْن (clenching the fists like when kneading dough) is INAUTHENTIC because:
1⃣. The chain contains an unknown narrator called Al-Haitham ibn ’Imrān as stated by Ibn Rajab in Fat-ḥ Al-Bāri:
((والهيثم هذا غير معروف))
2⃣. The authentic reports do not mention the addition of clenching the fist;
((رأيت ابن عمر إذا قام من الركعتين اعتمد على الأرض بيديه))
