The Ruling on Listening to Women Reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on listening to women reciting in the Qur'an competitions that are held annually in some Islamic countries? Please inform us—may Allah reward you.
Answer:
I am not aware of any harm in this matter, provided that the women are separate and the men are separate, without any free mixing of men and women at the competition venue. Rather, they should be separate, with the women veiled and hidden from the men.
As for the listener, if he listens for the sake of benefit and reflection on the words of Allah, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if he takes pleasure in their voices, it is not permissible.
As for when the intention is to listen for the benefit, and to take pleasure in listening to the Qur'an and benefiting from the Qur'an, there is no blame on him—Allah willing—in that.
