The Quran and sunnah no doubt does. Yes certainly there is evidence of women singing at the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him,during weddings and Eid and that to with his approval. And in the article Qardawi states clearly “there is no hindrance against women to sing, except that singing should be within an acceptable Islamic legal frame that insures singing is not accompanied by prohibited practices such as dancing or drinking alcohol.” Is it really being debated? strange that! By the way Genesis who is an "internet Salafi"? lol.Catchy! That said a true Salafi will not promote and/or support anyone in opposing the rulers. Those who do so are NOT Salafis but khawarij, Allahu 'alim.
