Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner who says: I completed a recitation of the Qur’an last year, praise be to Allah, and this year I submitted my papers for teaching. However, one of the conditions for teaching was listening to the applicant’s voice reciting with proper recitation and tajwid, and recording it on a cassette tape. Knowing that those who will listen to the voice are men, my question is about the ruling on that? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory that women be tested by women, and the learned women who are praise be to Allah, who are skilled in reciting the Qur’an, are many. So it is not permissible for her to record her voice for men, because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in that. Women are sufficient. Yes.
