Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said that a woman's voice is an 'awrah absolutely, even though she used to address the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
A woman's voice, if it contains fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), is an 'awrah and forbidden.
then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covetفَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
. If something happens to you in your prayer, let the men say tasbih and the women clap. Because it is a place where fitnah is likely. A place where fitnah is likely. As for when fitnah is confirmed, it is forbidden. If it is a place where fitnah is likely, it is disliked. If there is no fitnah in it, it is permissible. So a woman's voice has three rulings in it, three rulings. It is forbidden where there is fitnah. It is disliked if it is a place where fitnah is likely. It is permissible if there is no fitnah in it. Yes.
