Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My wife and I attend your lessons to gain understanding of the religion of Allah. Some of my brothers have advised me not to take them with me, citing the words of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ahzab 33:33]. Is this advice I should follow? I ask for your guidance in this matter.
Answer:
No, do not take her. “Remain in your homes.” If she goes out for prayer, or to seek knowledge and attend a lesson, that is worship of Allah the Exalted. Yes, so do not obey him in this; she attends and benefits. Yes, the female Companions used to attend the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) gatherings, ask him questions, and he would answer them, and they would pray with the Muslims, but with hijab, and without mixing with the men; they would be on the side or behind the men. Yes.
