What is the ruling on a woman accidentally raising her voice during the takbir, tashahhud, tasbih, or takbirat al-ihram, and does she need to perform sujud al-sahw?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman may recite aloud if no non-mahram man is present. Some scholars also permit her to say the opening takbir aloud. If a woman inadvertently says the opening takbir, or the tashahhud, or any takbir or tasbih aloud, her prayer is valid. Some scholars recommend that she perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw).
