Wisdom behind the permissibility of clapping for women and saying Tasbih for men
Q 3: What
is the wisdom for women to clap and men to say Tasbih (saying: "Subhan Allah [Glory be to Allah]") when an Imam (the one who leads the congregational Prayer) makes an error due to forgetfulness
in congregational Salah (Prayer), since a woman's voice is not considered to be part of her `Awrah (something that should be concealed and not displayed in public)?
A:
The wisdom behind prescribing clapping for women if an Imam makes an error is that their voices may be a Fitnah (temptation) to some people, so women were commanded to clap their hands to avoid this.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
