Summary
A man is permitted to check a woman's Quran recitation, because a woman's voice is not in itself awrah. What is prohibited is making the voice soft or alluring so as to attract men and cause temptation. Some scholars consider it disliked, but the dislike is lifted when there is no risk of fitnah. A public setting helps keep away suspicion, and being alone together (khalwah) must be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya , tiada masalah untuk lelaki menyemak bacaan al-Quran wanita. Apatah lagi ianya dihadiri oleh orang ramai.
