Is it permissible for men to listen to Islamic and folk anasheed (songs/chants) sung by a girl whose voice is recorded on a tape?

A Muslim must reflect upon the evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah and the sayings of scholars to judge matters. Righteousness is that to which the heart feels at ease, and sin is that which wavers in the breast. Allah Almighty warned the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) against softening their speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should covet, which indicates that a woman's soft voice can stir up temptation (fitna). The wise Sharia closes the doors to temptation.

Therefore, singing by a woman or a girl is considered a major door to temptation, even if its words encourage virtue, because purification requires safety from the snares of Satan. Those who disseminate the voices of girls singing or performing "religious" anthems in the name of Islam must fear Allah, for virtue does not lack a soft, beautiful voice or an enchanting girl.

The texts of Sharia have indicated the obligation for a woman to lower her voice even in worship. She should not raise her voice during the talbiyah, nor should she praise Allah in prayer by voice, but rather by clapping, so that men do not hear her. Scholars have issued fatwas prohibiting listening to the singing or anthems of a foreign woman, whether live or recorded, because her voice is considered 'awrah (something that must be concealed) when there is a fear of temptation. Imam Ibn al-Salah clarified that the combination of the tambourine, flute, and singing in the presence of foreign women is unlawful by the consensus of the imams, and whoever claims it is permissible is among the people of permissiveness, who are the most corrupt of the misguided sects.
