Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it said that a woman's voice is an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered)?
Answer:
Yes. A woman's voice is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); her voice is a fitnah. We do not say that she should not speak or make a sound. She should not speak or make a sound in a way that is alluring or softens her voice. Rather, her voice should be ordinary. Yes.
