Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the reconciliation between the act of the polytheists of clapping in worship, and a woman clapping in prayer to alert the imam if he forgets?
Answer:
Because her voice is 'awrah (a part of the body that must be covered), she is restricted to clapping, and her voice is not exposed. As for clapping in other than this, it is not permissible.
