Women (in Hijab & Niqab) on Youtube, Videos & TV

Asslamo Allaikum All,

Jazakullah Khairun

Asslamo Allaikum,

The ruling of Hanafi Madhab is that beautiful and meoldious voice of woman is Sat'r (Awrah) and HARAM whether done out of need or outside of need. The first quotation is from Imam Humaam (RA) and the second from Imam Ibn Abideen (RA)

صرح في النوازل بأن نغمة المرأة عورة ، وبنى عليه أن تعلمها القرآن من المرأة أحب إلي من الأعمى ، قال : لأن نغمتها عورة ، ولهذا قال عليه الصلاة والسلام

التسبيح للرجال والتصفيق للنساء

قال ابن عابدين في حاشيته على الدر المختار وهو حنفي قوله: (وصوتها) معطوف على المستثنى يعني أنه ليس بعورة.

Hazrat (Mufti) Abdur-Raheem Limbada (RA) has kindly stated that in our time of Fitnah since care is not taken to devoid the voice of beauty and melody he gave the Fatwa of voice of a woman being Sat'r (Awrah).

There is NO REASON for a women to start un-necesssary conversations with strange men anyways so the issue of voice is irrelevant.

Al-Quraan 33:32

Absolutely nothing to do with the subject of  normal voice of the woman to be part of her Sat'r in the Hanafi Madhab.

Asslamo Allaikum All,

Let me clarify the issue once again:

1. Nothing to do with South African Radio Islam (or any other Radio)
2. Absolutely AGAINST women talking on Radio let alone appearing on TV/Youtube/Videos
3. Absolutely AGAINST useless chit-chat, flirting, exchanging emails, PM's, text messages between genders
4. Absolutely AGAINST useless interaction even on Islamic forums in public

But the issue is how are people claiming that normal voice of a woman is Sat'r in the Hanafi Madhab? Please provide evidence of this from the Madhab.

Jazakullah Khairun

Asslamo Allaikum,

Hazrat Shaykhul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Abdur-Raheem Limbada (HA) also claimed the same on his site

www.tafseer-raheemi.com/q554-listening-to-quran-in-a-fema...

So the question still remains that some evidence needs to be provided about the matter from the Hanafi Madhab that it is the strongest and majority opinion. I fully understand that Hazrat (Mufti) A. S. Desai Saheb (HA) has concerns about Radio Islam and female presenters and there is some discussion on the matter in South Africa but that doesn't mean that the majority of the ruling in the Madhab is so.

Jazakullah Khairun

salamualaikum brother.

there will always be fitnah when it comes to men and women interacting with each other.fitnah is always present,just remember the story of the waliullah of bani israail by the name of barseesah.shaitan destroyed him by using a women.whether the woman is on tv or audio, its still fitnah and it arrouses the nafs to zina.

salamualaikum brother

hazrat moulana a.s desai is correct on his views about radio islam or as he puts it as radio shaiytan.moulana sab is one of the very few high ranking khalifahs of hazrat moulana maseehullah khan (r).his silsalah speaks for its self.we should follow his views on this matter inshallah.
