Is it permissible for a husband to allow his wife to go out to teach in a place that is not mixed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness.
The questioner : I have a small question, if you please.
The Shaykh : Make it big, make it big; the bigger it is, the greater the reward.
The questioner : Is it permissible for a man to allow his wife to go out to teach in Islamic attire?
The Shaykh : The question is complete here, that is fine, but it is missing where the place of teaching is, and whether she mixes with men or not?
The questioner : She does not mix with men.
The Shaykh : She does not mix?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean, is it a girls' school?
The questioner : Yes, a girls' school.
The Shaykh : And do men not come to them?
The questioner : And men do not come to them.
The Shaykh : If it is with these conditions, then it is permissible, but what is the situation with her salary? Her salary?
The questioner : From the ministry.
The Shaykh : No, that is not the question; who benefits from her salary, she or you or he?
The questioner : She and her husband.
The Shaykh : She and her husband, and is she willing?
The questioner : Yes, she is willing.
The Shaykh : Okay, there is nothing wrong with that under these conditions, but does she have children?
The questioner : She has children.
The Shaykh : Who takes care of their affairs?
The questioner : The father, of course.
The Shaykh : Ah, here the verse is reversed, here the verse is reversed; the father is the minister of foreign affairs, and the wife is the minister of interior, now you have reversed the divine system.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : I mean, I am afraid that a day will come when the minister of foreign affairs, who is the husband, will blow up the fire, cook, and sweep, and she will go out and teach, and she will become the minister of foreign affairs.
The questioner : And he will be the minister of interior.
The Shaykh : Yes. This is a reversal of the divine system, which is not permissible. However, if it is at the beginning of the marriage, or if he has been afflicted with infertility, and Allah has His wisdom and decrees in His creation, and she is veiled and committed, and does not mix with men, then Allah may benefit the girls through her. But if she has children, she must take care of raising her children, and the man must fulfill his ministry by doing work outside the house. The house is for women, not for men. Therefore, the Lord of the Worlds said in the Noble Qur'an:[Al-Ahzab 33:33] The verse contains two rulings that may coincide or may be separate. She may not go out and display herself in the manner of the first age of ignorance, but she goes out without necessity, or without a pressing need. The default for women, as some of the earlier, precise scholars say, is: "The default for women is to stay home, and for men is to go out." And now the verse is reversed in this question, which has some good qualities, let alone the reality of many women today, who work in offices, transactions, and factories, and all of this is contrary to the Shari'ah. If you are asking about yourself and your wife, then order her to stay in your house and look for work for yourself. And if you are asking about a friend of yours, then convey this to him, for I am assigning you to convey what you have heard, and it is not our responsibility beyond the conveyance. And peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : ...the individual obligation, unless there is an exception...

The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Welcome, Doctor.
The questioner : I showed it to Dr. 'Isam, and he said that, if Allah wills, he will benefit from it.The Shaykh : .
The Shaykh : I ask Allah to improve your good intention.
The questioner : May Allah honor you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : And things are going well, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : And I really felt a direct effect, some kind of relief.
The questioner : And if Allah wills, next Tuesday there will be better improvement.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : And may the same be for you, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And I hope for Samic the good, and that he will maintain the prayer and obedience.
The questioner : May Allah honor you, O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh : And you, do not forget him in your follow-up with reminding and advising, and I, if I find an opportunity, will hasten to do so, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah honor you, my master, may Allah honor you and give you health.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, and thank you, Doctor.
The questioner : My Shaykh, do not forget us regarding the books you gifted to Tahir.
The Shaykh : Upon my eyes and head, welcome, welcome, at the first opportunity, if Allah wills, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, this is a dear doctor, like him among doctors, in his preservation of his religion, his creed, and his advice to people. But the wisdom of Allah is that the wheel of knowledge keeps turning and moving; to this day, the knowledge of hadith never ends. Therefore, I say to our scholars and brothers who print our books: this book is in my hands, I was speaking with this brother of ours, and he is called AhmadAbu Layla : , one of our brothers in Zarqa, so in my hands now is the first volume of the Series of Authentic Hadiths, I am preparing it for the new edition.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness.
