Is it permissible, in Islamic law, for a fifteen-year-old niqabi girl studying in a girls' school with male teachers and principals, to chant moving religious anasheed or anasheed about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), without music or external rhythm, and with the intention of guiding others rather than showcasing the beauty of her voice, especially given her mother's opposition out of fear that it might be a precursor to singing with music?

The chanting of a female student in the presence of men from the school—such as the principal, teachers, and workers—is not permissible, because it is like the chanting of a Muslim woman in the presence of men. The intention of offering advice is not considered valid if its means are impermissible; for means have the rulings of their ends.
