The ruling on a woman raising her voice in saying the ameen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: This one also, perhaps, was affected by the supplication and raised her voice in saying the ameen in response to the imam's supplication. Is that permissible for her?

Answer:
A woman does not raise her voice, neither in saying the ameen nor in supplication. Rather, she lowers her voice because she is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered), and if her voice is heard, it may lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If something happens to you in your prayer," meaning if the imam makes a mistake, let the men say tasbih (glorification of Allah) and let the women clap. He specified tasbih for the men because it is done with the voice, and he specified clapping for the women to alert the imam, because they do not raise their voices in the presence of men. Yes.
