The Ruling on Forbidding Evil to a Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man sees a woman committing an evil, should he forbid her? And how?
Answer:
Yes. Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand, whether it is a man or a woman, changing it according to his ability. If he can, he changes it with his hand. The husband and the wali (guardian) of the woman—the husband and the woman's wali—change it with their hands. As for anyone other than the husband and the wali, he changes it with his words: he alerts her, advises her, and admonishes her. Yes.
