The Qur'an's specific advice for women and a recommendation to them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Perhaps we should conclude by asking for a recommendation, may Allah bless you, our Shaykh, for our female sisters.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. Among the exhortations in the Qur'an, some are general for men and women, such as[Al-Hadid 57:28] This is general for men and women: "O mankind, fear Allah." [Al-Hajj 22:1] This is general for men and women.
And some are specific to women regarding matters that concern women, such as hijab, staying in their homes, and not leaving them except for a need, with discipline and covering. These are issues specific to women.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) addressed women with commands and prohibitions specific to them:[An-Nur 24:30] "And say to the believing women..." [An-Nur 24:30]. [An-Nur 24:31] [An-Nur 24:31]. Then He said, "And fear Allah, all of you, O believers." This is a general exhortation for men and women: Fear Allah. Fear Allah. All of you, O believers and believing women. So the command includes what is specific to men, what is specific to women, and what is general for men and women, and everyone is responsible.
Before Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to carry out the commands of Allah that were addressed to them. So women are addressed with messages that they must obey, follow, and adhere to, because they are responsible for that.

قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَto reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts
يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْnot expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that
وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَاthat which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment
