Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, the questioner, says: Shaykh, regarding yodeling, which is the sound a woman makes when she is happy, what is the ruling on this if it is also done in the presence of men?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Yodeling is not among the practices of Muslims; rather, it is imported or from the customs of the ignorant among Muslims. A woman is not permitted to raise her voice and let men hear it except out of necessity, such as when she asks about something or buys a commodity from a seller, in which case she addresses the man and he hears her voice to the extent of the need. As for yodeling, it has no basis; it is not among the customs of Muslims. Yes.
