Raising the Voice in Supplication After a Lecture and Melodizing It

Question:
A female questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, the women who lead the supplications raise their voices after every lecture, they melodize the supplications, and there is a lot of crying and applying perfume during the supplications. And when I say that the condition in training the supplications is to make them like the recitation of the Qur'an and to raise the voice with them, what is the ruling?

Answer:
This is an innovated method. Melodizing the supplications and reciting them like the Qur'an is an innovation. The supplications are for supplication. If her voice is heard by the men, it is not permissible for her to raise her voice. But if she is among the women, she raises her voice to the extent that the women can hear it, so that they can say "Ameen" to her supplication. They say "Ameen" to her supplication, and there should be no melodizing, and there should be no recitation style, yes.
