The Shaykh : Today, there is a trend among Muslim women, not the immodest women who 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 right and left and traveling for the sake of what? For the sake of da'wah (calling to Islam). They are called female callers, just as there are male callers, there are also female callers. This is a religious innovation in Islam that Muslims do not know at all. 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 to refute these trends, some of which have already passed away and some of which will come later, and Allah knows best? The answer isSunan 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
