Women's Clubs in the Kingdom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I read in the Riyadh newspaper that an interview was conducted with Your Eminence regarding the issue of establishing women's clubs in the Kingdom, and that you approved of it. Is there any Shari'ah evidence that permits this? Because I do not believe this.
The Shaykh:
What happened today is no, we agreed to the non-existence of clubs, yes.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Clubs for men are harmful, how so?
