Voice

Q: I am a woman and need to earn money. I have developed an online course that will not reveal my face but I need to record my voice explaining the content, and I cannot limit the course to only women (there is no way to do this on the online course platform). Though people will hear my voice, no one will know me. Is this halal?

I may also be able to use a software to change the pitch of my voice slightly (lower the pitch of my voice). Is this better?

Q: I would like to find out the permissiblity of conducting programs online via zoom or other such medium for woman. A reputable muallimah will recite zikr, Quraan, give some naseeha, etc. These classes are only for women to participate and rules state that no men should be able to hear the female speaker. Links for online classes are sent out just before the programs so that no one besides those registered will be able to listen in.

Is it permissible to conduct such programs?

Will it be permissible for me (a female) to listen and thereby encourage to such programs?

Q: I wanted to know whether it is permissible for a girls madressah to have jalsa when the girls graduate in their final year. The jalsah will consist of a nasheed sang by the girls, a play, a qiraat read etc.

Q: A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. It is commonly used in education, both in online courses and software training videos. Only the screen output is shown and nothing else. It is often that the audio narration is done by a woman.

(1) Is it permissible for a male to watch a screencast if the audio narration is done by a woman? Only her voice is heard.

(2) Is it permissible for a female to watch a screencast if the audio narration is done by a male? Only his voice is heard.

(3) Is it permissible for a male to do the audio narration of a screencast if he knows that both men and woman will hear his voice? This would only be for screencasts of a permissible nature and with no animate images.
