What is the ruling on a woman singing in the Shari'ah? And does the singing of the two slave girls with the Bu'ath song in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) serve as evidence for its permissibility?

The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman singing in the Shari'ah? And does the singing of the two slave girls with the Bu'ath song in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) serve as evidence for its permissibility?

The Shaykh : The ruling on a woman singing is known from my previous answer: if her speech is ordinary, it is permissible and not an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered); but if it is accompanied by any softening of the speech, it is forbidden without doubt. Therefore, it came in the Qur'an: "" So they should not lower their voices in speech, lest those in whose hearts is disease be tempted "" Is this the verse?

The Shaykh, so singing is a greater trial than the softening of a woman's speech.
As for the singing of the slave girls in the house of the Messenger (peace be upon him), it was, first of all, singing by slave girls, within specific limits, and there were no men listening to this singing. And they, as we said, were slave girls; that is, young girls who were not yet of age, and no trial arises from people like them. Therefore, it is not permissible for an adult woman to sing within the hearing of non-mahram (a relative one may not marry) men.
Yes.
