The Scholars' Position on Taking Women Out and Their Mixing with Men

Question:
The secularists and writers, or the writers of some newspapers, rely on taking women out and having them mix with men. Your Excellency has made praiseworthy efforts in refuting them, but we see in our reality an acceleration in the steps to take women out and have them mix with men. What is the scholars' position on this?

Answer:
The position of all Muslims in general, and the scholars in particular, is to resist this deviant thought that seeks to corrupt the community in its morals and chastity, and to take women out of the role for which Allah created them.
Yes, the woman has her right. The woman performs work in the community. This is not unknown. The woman has her dignity. And this is what Islam brought. Islam is the one that recognized the status of the woman. It honored her, elevated her, established rights for her, and established for her suitable, productive work.
As for the one who takes the woman out of her nature, assigns her the work of men, and wants her to discard her life, discard the hijab, and expose herself; who wants her to travel alone, endure the hardship, and face dangers while she is a female; who wants her to pant after gathering or obtaining her sustenance, food, and drink while she is a weak woman; who wants her to bear the burdens of men—this is her enemy, even if he claims that he wants to honor her. This is her enemy in truth.
As for her true enemy, he is the one who protects her, honors her, respects her, gives her, and gives her her Sharia rights. This is the one who honors her, who encourages her to the hijab, to covering, and to preserving her dignity. This is the one who wants happiness for her and wants good for her. Yes.
