Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, these are also questions from women. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman delivering lessons and lectures in mosques for women, such that her voice does not reach the men?
Answer:
It is known that women used to teach in mosques or deliver sermons in mosques; this is what was known. This is something new. What is required of women is to remain veiled and to keep away from men, and not to go out to the mosque except for prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 and their homes are better for them . Yes, there is no harm in her delivering a sermon or a beneficial lecture in a covered hall or in her home, in a place where there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). But if she comes to the mosque and holds a lesson, that is something new that we have not known of and that has not been mentioned. Yes.
