The ruling on accusing da'wah offices of negligence in calling women

Question:
Some people accuse the da'wah offices of negligence in calling women and of contributing to stopping the Westernizing trend among women. What is Your Eminence's opinion on this? Are there any future da'wah projects specifically for women?

Answer:
The da'wah office works with what has been entrusted to it regarding calling people, organizing lectures and seminars in the institutions it oversees. The lectures include both women and men, as women and men gather in the mosques to listen to the benefits. As for dedicating lectures specifically to women, this is a matter requiring consideration and attention. We hope it will be facilitated, and that they will establish it in an appropriate period, if Allah wills, soon. Something related to the existence of administrative bodies for teaching the da'wah to women and for women's lectures requires depth and consideration. It will be looked into, if Allah wills. However, the lectures and seminars in the mosques include both these and those, because women usually attend them and benefit from them.
