The Meaning of the Hadith on Singing with the Qur'an and a Woman Singing with It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Sister Maryam from Abha says: What does the hadith about singing the Qur'an mean, O Shaykh? Is it permissible for a woman to sing the Qur'an? Is it specific to men?

The Shaykh:
Singing with the Qur'an means beautifying the voice with the Qur'an and roughening the delivery.

The presenter:
This is what is meant by singing with the Qur'an.

The Shaykh:
This applies to both men and women, but a woman should not raise her voice so that men can hear her, because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) involved. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
