The Woman and Calling to Allah (Mighty and Majestic)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is your opinion regarding the woman and calling to Allah ?
Answer: The woman, like the man, has her obligatory duty in calling others to Allah, enjoining good and forbidding evil. The evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah encompasses everyone except what is specified by the evidence, and the words of the scholars are clear in this regard. Among the evidence from the Qur'an in this is the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah: 71] and His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-Imran: 110].
Therefore, she must call to Allah with the Islamic etiquettes that are required of the man, and along with that, she must have patience and seek reward, due to the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: [Surah al-Anfal: 46] and His saying, the Exalted, regarding Luqman the Wise, that he said to his son: [Surah Luqman: 17].
Then she must also consider another matter, which is: that she be an example in chastity, hijab, and righteous deeds, and that she avoid the display of adornment and free mixing with men, which is forbidden; so that her calling, in word and deed, is against everything that Allah has forbidden her.

The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِYou are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah.
كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِTherefore, she must call to Allah with the Islamic etiquettes that are required of the man, and along with that, she must have patience and seek reward, due to the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:
and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَO my son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and be patient over what befalls you. Indeed, [all] that is of the matters [requiring] determination.
يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِThen she must also consider another matter, which is: that she be an example in chastity, hijab, and righteous deeds, and that she avoid the display of adornment and free mixing with men, which is forbidden; so that her calling, in word and deed, is against everything that Allah has forbidden her.
