What is your opinion on what is called the liberation of women?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. For a long time, the media in its various forms outside the Islamic countries have called for women to appear in the man's domain, advancing forward. Then the newspapers of our country followed with the same call. Is it considered a backwardness of the Ummah if women remain within their current boundaries? And will the silence of the scholars continue until the women's inclination leads to what cannot be concealed?

Answer:
This is part of the disease that the enemies spread, and the enemies exploit the ignorance of the ignorant and the ignorance of many of the leaders, so they spread among them this call for women to appear and stand out in the field of work among men, in schools, and in every place, with boys sitting side by side with them, until immorality increases, corruption spreads, and morals decline to base morals, bestial morals.
These are the objectives of the enemies of Allah, and the obligatory thing is for women to remain in their Islamic state, that she be in her home, a teacher for her children and kids, prepared for her home, caring for her husband. And if she has extra capability, she benefits the Muslims by teaching girls, in girls' schools, in medicine and nursing women, in what concerns women. These are her boundaries, and by this she will have salvation, and for her people and her community there will be good, strength, and righteousness.
But if she mixes with the youth in their schools and in their communities, and we become like secretaries and offices, and the image of secretaries for people, and she works side by side with the man, that becomes corruption and destruction and ruin, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah. Yes.
