Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to raise her voice in supplication or in reciting the Qur'an while performing tawaf around the Ka'bah?

Answer:
She should not raise her voice; rather, she should supplicate quietly. Likewise, men should not raise their voices, for they disturb others. Each person should supplicate for himself in a way that he can hear himself, without raising his voice over others. Furthermore, a woman’s voice is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in itself. Yes.
