Is it permissible for a woman to leave her home to teach the Qur'an and to learn?

Question : The sister questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, we are on the line with you. A group of sisters asked her to teach them the Qur'an and tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) in their homes. Should she respond to this? Is there any issue with her leaving her home?

Answer : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. There is nothing wrong with her going out to teach and to learn; that is, there is nothing wrong with her leaving her home to teach and to learn. This is except if she feels a religious concern, such as if she faces harassment in the market when she goes out, or if the house she goes to has many men passing in front of her frequently. In that case, she should not go out.
Then, in truth, the teacher should be brought to, rather than going to others, because knowledge is too noble and honorable to be delivered to people in their homes. For this reason, it is narrated—I think it is from Malik—that he said: "Knowledge is brought to." This is except if there is a religious benefit in going to the student's home, in which case it is not [permissible].
