The Ruling on a Woman’s Voice in Reciting the Qur’an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question asks: Is a woman’s voice an awrah (part of the body that must be covered), especially when reciting the Qur’an?

Answer:
If it leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), then it is an awrah. However, if the voice is ordinary and there is a need, she may converse with a man to ask him about a need, provided there is no fitnah, no submission of voice, and no flirtation. Allah the Exalted said:
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]
This is ordinary speech that does not lead to fitnah, and it is permissible for a need. Yes.
