Does what was narrated from Amir ibn Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him, regarding hearing the singing of slave girls at a wedding, and the saying of the two Companions: "If you wish, listen with us; and if you wish, go, for we have been permitted amusement at weddings," indicate the permissibility of listening to women's voices at weddings, or is it restricted to slave girls?

Permissible singing at weddings is allowed if it is free of musical instruments and indecency. It is permissible for men to listen to it if the singers are young girls from whom no temptation is feared. This is indicated by the hadith of Al-Rabi' bint Mu'awwidh and Aisha in Al-Bukhari.
