Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The next question: What is the ruling on a Muslim woman reciting the Qur'an in frontThe Shaykh : of the shaykh who teaches her correct recitation and tajwid, provided there is a barrier between them? And is this considered submission in speech as mentioned in the verse; that is, when she recites with tartil, she recites in front of the man?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for her to do so unless a new invention is introduced, which is that the sound is not heard, and the man understands that, despite not hearing her voice, he knows that she is skilled. No, that is impossible.
The questioner : So, it is not permissible?
The Shaykh: Of course.
The questioner : Some of the imams, O Shaykh, have issued a ruling permitting this matter; he said: He usually teaches the Qur'an...
The Shaykh[Al-Muddaththir 74:38] , what shall I do for you? Do you not know that a woman's voice is 'awrah?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : You did not answer me.
The questioner : No, I am aware of this matter.
The Shaykh : What do you know?
The questioner : That a woman's voice is 'awrah, like this. I say that there is discussion in this matter originally. If there is softness in the speech, or if her speech is natural, for example.
The Shaykh : And her recitation is natural?
The questioner : She usually recites from the perspective of the correctness of the recitation.
The Shaykh : You are all in the same boat, glory be to Allah! ... Is her recitation with tajwid natural like her speech?
The questioner : No, it is not natural.
The Shaykh : Okay; why did you say: if it is?
The questioner : No, I am not convinced by this... Some of the scholars, from the perspective of the hearing that occurs... say: Some of those who teach recitation usually are not affected by this softness in the recitation.
The Shaykh : That is the Messenger of Allah.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for her to do so unless a new invention is introduced, which is that the sound is not heard, and the man understands that, despite not hearing her voice, he knows that she is skilled. No, that is impossible.
The questioner : So, it is not permissible?
The Shaykh: Of course.
