The Ruling on Melodizing Supplications and Raising the Voice with Them for Women

Question:
This question is from a woman who asks: Your Excellency the Shaykh, some female callers to Islam recite supplications after every lecture with a loud voice, melodizing the supplication and stirring the women present to weep and sing in the supplication. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on melodizing supplications and making them like the recitation of the Qur'an, and raising the voice with them for women?

Answer:
This is an innovated method. Melodizing supplications and reciting them like the Qur'an is from religious innovation. One simply makes supplication. If her voice is heard by men, it is not permissible for her to raise her voice. However, if she is among women, she may raise her voice to the extent that the women can hear it, so that they may say "Ameen" to her supplication. There should be no singing in it, and no melodic recitation. Yes.
