Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we received this question, in which the questioner asks: Are men and women equal in the verses regarding righteous deeds, where the Noble Qur'an exhorts men? Does it include both men and women in their persistence in righteous deeds?
Answer:
Yes, performing the obligatory acts and avoiding the forbidden ones applies equally to men and women. The believers, male and female, and the Muslims, male and female, up to the end of the verse. Then He said at its conclusion:[Al-Ahzab 33:35] Then He said after that: [Al-Ahzab 33:36] [Al-Ahzab 33:36] This applies to both men and women. So the obligatory acts, performing the acts of obedience, and avoiding the forbidden and disliked things apply to both men and women. There are rulings specific to women, which are recorded and mentioned in the books of hadith and books of Islamic jurisprudence, and they are well known. A woman has rulings that men do not share with her, which are fitting for her, and a man has rulings that women do not share with him, which are fitting for men. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.
أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًاIt is not for a believing man or a believing woman
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍwhen Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.
إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًاThe presenter:
