Is it true that a woman's voice is not an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) as long as it is not characterized by submission in speech or softness?

Question:
So, is it true that a woman's voice is not an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) as long as it is not characterized by submission in speech or softness?

Answer:
Yes, this is the correct view: a woman’s voice is not an absolute 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), but it becomes an 'awrah if it leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: in . Therefore, the well-known statement is not considered an 'awrah; rather, the 'awrah is what contains softness, submission, or speech that pleases the open sinner or the one with a disease in his heart. This is what leads to fitnah and constitutes an 'awrah.
The women in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to speak with men, ask about matters of their religion, and deal with men, but there was no submission in speech, no softness in talk, and no speech that encouraged open sinners. Rather, the speech was to the extent of need and was ordinary speech. May Allah reward you with good.
