Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
If her voice, due to its softness and enhancement, is typically enticing to the listener, even if the listener is a mahram (non-marriageable relative), it is necessary to avoid that if it is certain that men will hear her voice; otherwise, there is no problem. It is advisable to exercise caution in doubtful situations, and it is preferable not to raise her voice unnecessarily. And Allah is the protector.
