Is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud in the loud prayers when there is no one else present?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, regarding a woman in the loud prayers, does she recite aloud like the men if there are no non-mahram men around her and no one can hear her voice, or does she recite quietly in both the loud and quiet prayers? May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : Yes, a woman does not recite aloud in prayer, neither in the loud prayers nor in the quiet ones, even if no one is with her, because she is commanded to lower her voice. It may be said, however, that if no one is with her and reciting aloud makes it easier for her, as it might be in the late-night prayer, it may be said that there is no harm in it, because there is no prohibition involved.
