Mentioning the issue of women going out to call people to Allah and clarifying that this is one of the religious innovations that many people today do not know.

The Shaykh : Today, there is a trend among Muslim women, not the women who display their adornment and do not care about what is forbidden and what is lawful. The new trend among Muslim women is that a number of them emerge claiming to be female callers to Allah. You see them going hither and thither and traveling; for what purpose? For the sake of da'wah (calling to Islam), and they are called female callers, just as there are male callers—also female callers. This is a religious innovation in Islam that Muslims do not know at all. And this means opening the door for women to take on the rulings and characteristics of men.
It is not far-fetched that a time will come when we see women sitting and appointing themselves to issue fatwas, and appointing themselves to judge. What is the argument for refuting these trends, some of which have already passed away, and some of which will come—Allah knows best—in the future? The answer is:Sunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani).
These are some examples to clarify that if a general text is not acted upon, it is not permissible to rely on its generality.

Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error
وإيَّاكم ومحدثات الأمور ؛ فإنَّ كل محدثة بدعة ، وكل بدعة ضلالة ، وكل ضلالة في النارThese are some examples to clarify that if a general text is not acted upon, it is not permissible to rely on its generality.
