Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The pursuers of desires try to lead the Muslim woman out of her modesty and covering through various methods and tricks. What is the advice for the girls of Islam regarding these trials and tests that surround them? And what are the reasons for their firmness upon the truth that you advise them with?
Answer:
They must stand firm upon the religion, and upon chastity, modesty, and bashfulness. Let not the words of these enemies delude them, for they wish to lead them into calamity and deviation. The Muslim woman should not pay attention to the words of the enemies, nor be deceived by their claim that they are championing the woman, that the woman is oppressed, and that the woman is humiliated. This is a lie. The Muslim woman is noble, praise be to Allah, honored and respected, through faith, religion, and modesty. She is a noble and honored woman in the sight of Allah and in the sight of His creation. Yes.
