The Ruling on Women’s Shrieking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question from the brothers in Sudan is also: What is the ruling in Islam regarding women’s shrieking?
Answer:
Women’s shrieking involves a detailed distinction. Their shrieking among themselves at a wedding celebration, in the gathering of the wedding, among themselves, there is nothing wrong with that. Or shrieking in something that does not harm people among themselves, in a private game among them, that does not harm people, and does not involve mixing with men, and does not contain anything that Allah has forbidden, then there is nothing wrong with it.
As for if they shriek in something that contains shirk (associating partners with Allah), or in supplication to other than Allah, or in cursing the religion, all of this is munkar (what is wrong), and some of it is shirk, and some of it is other than that, depending on their circumstances.
So shrieking is a general, absolute, and vague term, with no detail in it. If the shrieking consists of good words at times of joy, at a wedding, or upon the arrival of her husband from a journey, or her father, in a manner that does not involve mixing with men, and does not cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for men, then the matter is easy. But if the shrieking contains cursing Islam, or calling for shirk, or munkar speech, or cursing people, or calling for aid from other than Allah, then it has its rulings. So this is a matter that involves detail.
