Guidance on the claim of the oppression of women in Islam

Question:
Ah. Here a questioner says: The people of desires and lusts put forward a defective premise, which is that women suffer from oppression and suppression in the home, the market, and elsewhere. Then they demand that women display their adornment and rebel against the Shari'ah and sound custom. What is your guidance on this? It is known that the sick person... finds...

Answer:
...sweet water to be bitter. So likewise, these people who are sick with hypocrisy or disbelief or other such defects find that the rulings of the Shari'ah are bitter and they do not find them palatable, whether regarding women or others. As it is said: "Whoever has a bitter, sick mouth finds the sweetest water bitter." This is the nature of the sick person. So these sick people who imagine that the Muslim woman is oppressed—these sick people imagine the truth to be falsehood and falsehood to be truth. This is their inverted perception, may Allah protect us from it. Otherwise, the woman in Islam, and praise be to Allah, the woman in Islam is honored and respected in her home, protected and respected, commanding and forbidding, and the means of comfort have been provided for her. So what oppression is this?
The oppression is in her going out of her home and doing the works that do not agree with her femininity; this is the oppression: men's works. And her working with men in offices or on airplanes or in men's fields, competing with them and they competing with her—this is the oppression in reality. This is the oppression. As for honoring her, as for protecting her, as for providing comfort for her, this is the expansion, and this is the good, and this is Islam.
