The questioner : Is it permissible to listen to a woman’s voice on tapes?
Some tapes contain women who recite the Qur'an!
The Shaykh : Yes, if there are no male reciters available and a person needs to listen to her voice, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : There are male reciters.
The Shaykh : Provided there is no fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
No, there is no need for it, meaning there are male reciters with better voices than the women, and for men to listen to women, by Allah, there is something in the soul about this.
