The Ruling on Describing the Rulings of the Shari'ah as Rigid and Backward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the matter of what they claim regarding the liberation of women, which you described, as you graciously stated, as the destruction of women and the ruin of women, may we say that they are refuted in that they did not call the other type of women to freedom? There are many Muslim women, praise be to Allah, who have believed in their Lord, accepted the ruling of Allah, and become veiled and covered, not wanting to be unveiled or to compete with men, and they know that what Allah has prescribed is good for them. But they are not safe from them. If their call for the liberation of women and the freedom of women were sincere, then they would also be among them in freedom and ease. But they restrict them in jobs, education, and media.
Answer:
They will spare no effort in harming Muslims and fighting the rulings of Islam. They will spare no effort, and among that is that they restrict the committed and describe them with vile descriptions. They describe the legal rulings as rigid, backward, regressive, and outdated traditions, and the like. Is there any disbelief greater than this disbelief? If one describes the rulings of the Shari'ah with these descriptions, Allah the Exalted and Majestic says:[Muhammad 47:9]. If a person hates the rulings of the Shari'ah that Allah has revealed, then Allah will nullify his deeds. And that means he is a disbeliever. Yes.
