What is the ruling on a woman reciting the Qur'an on the radio?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a woman reciting the Qur'an on the radio to correct it?

Answer:
It is forbidden; it is not permissible. A woman's voice is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered); this is not permissible. This is a newly invented matter and is not permissible. But when the call for women's liberation came, these things appeared. You, O Nur. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
