The Muslim's Position on the Woman's Card and Forbidding What Is Wrong

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the Muslim's position in the first place? What is the Shari'ah's stance toward what is called the woman's card, and what is our role in forbidding this evil in the Shari'ah manner?

Answer:
Do what you are able to do, and you are not burdened by Allah with what you are not able to do. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heartمَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ
Sahih Muslim 49a
. It is sufficient for you to disapprove of this in your heart if you are unable to change or remove it. You are not able to remove or change it, but you disapprove of it in your heart, and that is sufficient.
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. Praise be to Allah, for Allah does not burden us with anything we are not able to do.
