A Woman Presenting Dawah Programs on Satellite Channels

Question:
The questioner says: Some satellite channels have introduced da'wah programs presented by female da'iyah. Is it permissible for a woman to present such programs?

Answer:
If she is displaying her adornment and her face is uncovered, it is not permissible for her to do so. It is not permissible for her to appear on the screen before people with her face uncovered. This is not called da'wah; this is da'wah to uncovering the face. This is not permissible. However, if she is covered and wearing the hijab, the ruling regarding the gaze remains, and the ruling regarding the voice remains. If a woman's voice contains fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is not permissible for her to appear before people and speak with an alluring voice.
Her voice is a fitnah and her appearance is a fitnah. What a woman should do is stay away from scenes in which she appears before people. She should stay away from them. This is what is best for her. And this is the da'wah to Allah. The da'wah to Allah is that she covers herself and is modest, so that she becomes a role model for other women. If she appears, she becomes a bad role model for women in being lax in these matters. Yes.
