Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh's case, what is the ruling on a Turkish woman, as for the fact that she is studying the subject of tobacco,
The Shaykh:
us.
The questioner:
The student's confirmation.
The Shaykh:
Assembly.
The questioner:
The student's arrangement is that she is studying the subject of the Qur'an, and it is extensive, and her recitation is in a purposeful, beautiful voice, so what do you say about that? And is it sufficient for her to say
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a woman to recite the Qur'an in her captivating voice in the presence of a man, because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) involved in that, whether in the Qur'an or otherwise, because a woman's voice, especially that of a young woman, contains fitnah, and Allah has not made this necessary. Women teach women, women teach women, or her mahram (a relative one may not marry) teaches her, such as her father, her brother, a relative, or her husband; her mahram teach her in the Qur'an, or a woman who recites the Qur'an teaches her, and there are many of them, praise be to Allah. There are many women who recite the Qur'an now. As for a man hearing the recitations of girls, that is munkar (what is wrong) and not permissible because of the fitnah involved.
A woman lowers her voice from men in the talbiyah (the pilgrim's chant of response) when she enters the state of ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) for Hajj (the major pilgrimage), and in prayer if something happens to the imam, she does not raise her voice. The man says "Subhan Allah," and the woman claps with her two hands, as you know, and she does not raise her voice because of the fitnah in her voice. And Allah the Exalted says to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-Ahzab 33:32] There is no doubt that there is fitnah in the voice, so women should avoid this. Women study the Qur'an with women, listening to their voices, or their mahram from among the men study it with them. Yes.

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
