IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-725: HUKUM MENGUATKAN SUARA KETIKA SOLAT DENGAN TUJUAN MEMBERI ISYARAT DI LUAR SOLAT
Is it permissible to raise one's voice during prayer so that a person calling from outside the house knows that one is praying?
Short answer
Raising the voice during prayer to signal to a caller is permissible when there is a need, such as when the calling disturbs one's focus in prayer.

Summary
Raising the voice during prayer to signal to a caller is permissible when there is a need, such as when the calling disturbs one's focus in prayer. The voice must be raised through prayer recitations, such as the transition takbir or a dhikr like subhanallah, with the intention of reciting them. If it is not intended as a prayer recitation and is solely to answer the caller outside the prayer, the prayer becomes invalid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengangkat suara semasa mengerjakan ibadat solat bagi tujuan memberi isyarat dan kefahaman kepada orang yang memanggil tersebut adalah diharuskan sekiranya terdapat keperluan dan hajat seperti gangguan terhadap fokus solat.
