The phrase “Liberation of Women” and guidance regarding it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the term “advocates of women’s liberation” is frequently repeated on the tongues of some preachers in sermons and lectures, and in newspapers and magazines. Indeed, some books bear this title. Is there a comprehensive word of guidance regarding this phrase?
Answer:
The phrase is incorrect, without doubt. In reality, if one were to say “advocates of the destruction of women,” that would be accurate—destruction of what is not destruction, destruction of women. But if it is quoted from their speech, this is a report of their words. They are the ones who want to liberate women, in their claim. So this is a transmission of their phrase. It is obligatory to clarify the meaning of this “liberation,” that it is a fabrication, and that it is false, and that what is transmitted from them is not liberation. Whoever quotes from them must clarify this. Yes.
