The Ruling on Taking the Advice of Women in Matters Concerning the Ummah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the advice of Umm Salimah make it permissible to take the advice of women in matters concerning the Muslim community?
Answer:
There is no doubt that women have opinions, and their advice is taken. However, they are not given general authority over the people; that is the point. As for taking their advice, that is fine.
