Even the education of women is still lacking in matters that specifically concern women. Perhaps you have a word to say?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Until now, Shaykh Salih, the education of women is still lacking in matters that specifically concern women. Perhaps you also have a word to say, Shaykh Salih.

Answer:
Today, praise be to Allah, women have generally become educated, and there are among them teachers and graduates from secondary schools, colleges of Shari'ah and Islamic principles, and colleges of da'wah. The majority of them have learned and emerged from ignorance because they studied the curricula of 'aqidah, fiqh, hadith, and tafsir. They carry knowledge that can be benefited from, if they invest it in good for themselves and for others. They should teach their sisters what Allah the Exalted has taught them, and they should read, at least, from books to the people of their household, their sisters, their mother, and those with whom they gather. They also have a responsibility, a great responsibility toward their sisters and relatives. The majority of women and young girls today are educated in the rulings of the religion, but the problem is that many male and female students consider these curricula merely as means to pass, a subject to be utilized.
They study them for the sake of the exam, write them on the answer sheets in the test, and then they deposit their knowledge and leave it, because in their opinion its task is finished. This is a great error, a major mistake, and a deprivation of good. The purpose of study is not merely exams, answers, and passing, but rather the purpose is benefit, utility, and benefit. This is what is intended by it, and it is the place of responsibility before Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
