The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a woman to recite the Qur'an to a man to obtain a high chain of transmission, given that she is proficient in the Qur'an?

The Shaykh:
Yes, knowledge.

The questioner:
That he is proficient in the Qur'an, or that she is proficient.

The Shaykh:
A woman may learn from a man and take from him knowledge of hadith, knowledge of recitations, knowledge of jurisprudence, and knowledge of Arabic; there is nothing wrong with that. But with hijab and without seclusion. With hijab and without seclusion. Did I say that? Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
In any case, if women are available to teach her, and there are learned women and reciters who teach women, then there is no doubt that this is more complete and further from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
