Ruling on Preventing a Woman from Calling to Allah in Gatherings of Women

The questioner has another question. She says: How can a woman be a caller to Allah the Mighty and Sublime, in the path of Allah, in the face of family circumstances that prevent her from leaving the house to attend lessons or lectures? Because her father constantly repeats the noble verse: [Al-Ahzab: 33]. What is the meaning of the decision here, O Shaykh?
Answer: If the woman has knowledge, she should call to Allah the Exalted, even in her home, with her family and with visitors, until it becomes easy for her to go out to gatherings of women.
It is obligatory for her father, if she has knowledge, not to prevent her from going out to gatherings of women, provided she covers herself and stays away from the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). The principle of staying in the houses is the safest and the better course; because of His saying, the Exalted and Majestic is He: [Al-Ahzab: 33]; because it is further for the woman from fitnah. But her going out for her need, and her going out to call to Allah, or to learn, or to maintain family ties, or to visit the sick, or to console the bereaved, all of this is permissible and prescribed. What is disliked is her going out without need.
As for if her going out is for a religious matter, then this is a required matter. It is obligatory for fathers and guardians to help in good. And if the woman is righteous, they should help her in good.
As for if she is suspected of going out in the name of good while she intends evil, this is a matter of consideration and independent legal reasoning. But as long as they know that her going out is a good going out in which there is nothing wrong; and that she goes to study in which there is no free mixing of men and women, or to attend circles of knowledge among women, or to call to Allah among women, if they know that her going out is permissible, then it is obligatory not to prevent her, and it is obligatory to help in good. Just as the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go out for public interests and for private interests, and they are the ones addressed: [Al-Ahzab: 33]. And despite this, they used to go out. They used to go out to console the bereaved, and they used to go out to wedding celebrations, and they used to go out for other needs. In them is an example (may Allah be pleased with them and satisfy them). Yes.
