just a bit on womens voice..
Question: I want to know if a woman’s voice is from her `awrah (something that she must conceal from men)?
Answered by Sheikh Muhammad b. Sâlih al-`Uthaymîn
The woman’s voice is not something to be ashamed of or something that she must conceal from strange men.
The proof for this is that Allah says to the Mothers of the Believers (the Prophet’s wives): “Be not too complaisant of speech, lest on in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire.” [Sûrah al-Ahzâb: 33]
In this verse Allah says: “Be not too complaisant of speech.” He does not command them not to speak.
Also, in the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him), there are many cases where women came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to ask him about their religious concerns in the presence of other men, but he never stopped them, even after the verse legislating hijâb was revealed.
However, women should not talk to men unnecessarily.
