The answer

The basic principle is that it is permissible for a woman to listen to a man's recitation, as long as it does not lead to pleasure, because jurists have mentioned prohibiting a woman from listening to the voice of a non-mahram man, just as a man is prohibited from listening to the voice of a non-mahram woman. They based this on what Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the narration of Muhanna, and on the hadith of Anjasha: "Gently, O Anjasha, do not break the vessels [meaning women]," and it was said regarding its meaning that the Prophet (peace be upon him) feared temptation for women from listening to songs.
