Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In recent years, many have focused on talking about women and defending them, claiming to be in their support. Outwardly, it appears to be reform, but inwardly, as is evident, it is wickedness and deceit. What is the effect of this action on their faith? And what is your advice to them?
Answer:
In Islam, Allah the Exalted has treated women justly and protected them. He has given them what befits them in the Shari'ah of Allah the Exalted. The Muslim woman has remained in honor and dignity in this land, praise be to Allah; she is protected, respected, and honored. Whoever wants to support women should support them against the disbelievers who have humiliated them, deprived them of their rights, wronged them, and made them cheap commodities for their desires and lusts. If he truly wants to support women, let him free them from the slavery of disbelief, the disbelievers, and the corrupters on earth. But to free them from Islam and the Muslims is to oppose Allah and His Messenger and to wrong the woman. He is wronging the woman because he wants to strip her of the right that Allah has granted her in Islam. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
