The ruling on whether prophethood can be in women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does Allah inform you whether prophethood can be in women, as some scholars say?
Answer:
No,[Yusuf 12:109] prophethood was not in women. This is the unique text of the Qur'an. Regarding Maryam (peace be upon her), Allah the Exalted says her mother was a righteous woman; He did not say she was a prophet. As for His saying, [Al-Qasas 28:7] the revelation (wahy) intended here is the revelation of inspiration, like [An-Nahl 16:68], meaning He inspired her with this matter. It is not the revelation of legislation. The revelation of legislation is specific to the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). Yes.

Answer:
No,
And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمAnd We inspired to the mother of Moses
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰAnd your Lord inspired to the bee
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ
