The Muslims' Position on the Document to Eliminate Violence Against Women

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The countries of disbelief want the states to sign a document called the Elimination of Violence Against Women. They want to impose it on all Muslims. This document contains opposition to the Shari'ah, such as stripping men of their guardianship, leaving women to do as they please, and equalizing inheritance, among other things. He asks: What is the obligation of the Muslims, rulers and ruled, regarding this document?

Answer:
The obligation is to follow the revealed Shari'ah. The Shari'ah was the most just toward women, whereas they have wronged them. They wronged women by stripping them of the honor Allah prescribed for them, and of the protection of their chastity, their religion, their persons, and their private parts. They are the ones who exposed them. They are the ones who wronged women.
They are the ones who wronged women and deprived them of their rights. As for Islam, it honored women, protected them, preserved them, and provided them with all means of comfort. Yes. So the Muslims are convinced by the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of their Prophet, meaning the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, or by the systems and laws of the West? Do they mean that the laws of the West are better than the Qur'an and better than the Sunnah? Whoever holds this view is a disbeliever and an atheist. Whoever holds that Islam wronged women is an atheist and a disbeliever, whoever he may be. As for the one who believes that the Qur'an and the Sunnah honored women, preserved them, protected them, and honored them, he is the believer. Yes.
