The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Some scholars cited this hadith as evidence that a woman’s voice is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered), while other hadiths indicate that a woman’s voice is not an awrah (part of the body that must be covered)?

The Shaykh : Yes, the Qur’an indicates that a woman’s voice is not an awrah (part of the body that must be covered). The Noble Qur’an, for Allah said:
then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet فلا تخضعن بالقول فيطمع الذي في قلبه مرض
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
He prohibited submission in speech, not speech itself. However, a woman raising her voice is a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); it is not an awrah (part of the body that must be covered), but rather a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), especially if her voice is beautiful and deep, and the listener’s heart is devoid of fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But in any case.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The men said, “Allow me. If you want to argue with them, they will overpower you.” Yes.
