What is the ruling on teaching women the Qur'an in the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from Libya asks: What is the ruling on women reading the Qur'an collectively in the mosque for the purpose of learning and review? And if it is not permissible, does the girl have to leave the mosque because of this?
Answer:
By Allah, there is no doubt that women being in their homes, whether for prayer or for learning the Qur'an, is the default. However, if we accustom them to going out to study the Qur'an, and I do not know how it is, this makes them, in the end, not care about staying in their homes.
So I see that teaching women in their homes and their praying in their homes is the default and the safer option for them. Now, they are taking women out of their homes and putting them in cars, and they are going and coming. The woman likes to go out, to go and come. You have opened the door for them, and now they are not accustomed to their homes, and they do not build their homes, using the excuse that they are learning, and I do not know how it is. So I see that it is better to leave this and let the women stay in their homes. What they learn is sufficient, if Allah wills, and there is no need to delve deeply into teaching. Yes.
