What is the meaning of the phrase: "If you must do it, then keep women away from him," which was narrated from Yazid ibn al-Walid?
This narration aims to condemn singing and listening to it for both men and women. Its danger is greater for women due to their quick emotional response to it. Ibn al-Qayyim called singing "the incantation of zina," and he explained that a woman is easily affected by sounds. If the sound is singing, her emotional response increases from both the sound and the meaning. This is why the Prophet said to Anjasha, "O Anjasha, gently, gently with the Qawarir (fragile vessels)."
