A Woman Going Out for Da'wah and Being Called a Da'iyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In this time, it has become common for women to go out in the name of da'wah, and they call themselves da'iyyah (female callers to Islam), and they author books, and perhaps tapes, and other matters that Allah knows best. What is your guidance on this matter? And does it have a basis in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
If a woman has knowledge of the Shari'ah and she calls women, there is nothing wrong with that; this is good, if she has knowledge of the Shari'ah. And if she has sound 'aqidah (creed) and calls women within the circle of women, this is something required, good. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ahzab 33:35] to the end of the verse. He, the Exalted, said: [At-Tawbah 9:71] The woman enjoins what is right and forbids what is wrong within her capability, and what does not conflict with her modesty and her hijab. Good, yes.
