Is it prohibited to work in the field of graphics and animation that involves adding female voices to characters, which may include laughter or softness, on the pretext that a woman's voice is 'awrah, even if the work is beneficial to viewers, both adults and children?

It is not permissible to photograph living beings except for a legitimate, recognized Shariah interest, while observing Shariah regulations, including not photographing women. It is also impermissible for a woman's voice to be soft and alluring, as this is a cause of temptation, for Allah Almighty said: "Then do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech." Accordingly, it is not permissible for a Muslim to engage in this work except while observing Shariah regulations.
