Is there a hadith with the exact wording: "May Allah curse the voice of a woman, even if it is in remembrance of Allah"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no Hadith with this meaning. Even if we assume its existence, it contradicts the verse: "And the men who remember Allah often and the women who remember Him often - Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward." The voice of a woman is not considered 'awrah (nakedness), but it is forbidden to derive pleasure from hearing it. Therefore, she should read silently if a non-mahram man hears her, for fear of temptation.
