most Islamic scholars agree that the women’s voice is awrah and she shouldn’t speak too softly in front of non mahrams since it can lead to temptation however the taliban took it too far banning them from talking is crazy
ill just use chat gpt:
Islamically, a woman's voice is **not considered *awrah* (something that must be concealed)** in the general sense. This is the position held by the majority of scholars across various Islamic schools of thought. Here are the key points:
1. **Definition of *Awrah*:** In Islamic jurisprudence, *awrah* refers to the parts of the body that must be covered and protected from non-mahram (those whom one could potentially marry). The concept primarily applies to physical modesty.
2. **Women's Voice:** The majority opinion among scholars is that a woman's voice does not fall under the definition of *awrah*. This means that it is permissible for a woman to speak, teach, and recite in the presence of non-mahram men.
3. **Guidelines for Speaking:** While the voice itself is not *awrah*, scholars emphasize that women (and men) should maintain modesty and decorum in how they speak. This includes avoiding a seductive tone or behavior that could be considered inappropriate in Islamic teachings.
4. **Public Roles and Education:** Throughout Islamic history, women have held roles as scholars, teachers, and leaders, which involved speaking publicly. This historical precedent supports the view that a woman's voice is not inherently something that needs to be hidden.
5. **Exceptions and Cautions:** Some more conservative scholars or communities may impose stricter guidelines based on cultural practices or their interpretation of Islamic teachings. These guidelines might suggest that women should avoid raising their voices in mixed-gender settings, especially in certain situations like when reciting the Quran, but these are not universally agreed upon.
### Conclusion
The voice of a woman is **not considered *awrah* according to the majority of Islamic scholars**. Women are generally permitted to speak, teach, and recite in public, with the emphasis on maintaining modesty and proper conduct. The interpretation may vary based on cultural and community practices, but the mainstream Islamic view does not categorize a woman's voice as *awrah*.
