The Ruling on Using Loudspeakers at Women's Weddings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your question is from a woman who asks: What is the ruling on using loudspeakers at weddings among women only?

Answer:
It is not permissible for the voices of women to be heard. It is not permissible for their voices to be heard in the streets, markets, or on recordings. It is not permissible, neither through loudspeakers nor with the bare voice.
then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
. If a woman is praying with the Muslims in the mosque and the imam makes a mistake, she does not say tasbih aloud, but rather claps. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If you notice something when you are prayingإذا نابكم شيء في صلاتكم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1183Sahih (Darussalam)
Let the men say tasbih and let the women clap. When a woman enters the state of ihram, she does not raise her voice with the talbiyah, but rather she recites it only as much as she can hear herself.
