A woman calling her female counterparts to Islam and teaching them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to stop delivering lessons in the mosque, given that no one attends, and this has happened several times? The question is still from the listener (M. S. A.) from Jordan?
Answer:
If it is feasible for you to deliver the lesson to the congregation after 'Asr, or after Maghrib, or after 'Isha'.
The presenter : This is a female questioner. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : A woman?
The presenter : A woman, yes.
The Shaykh : You teach the women who are present with you in your home, and those who visit you at home. If you are a teacher, you also teach the female students, and you study with the female teachers if they are less knowledgeable than you, or you review with them if they are at your level, or if they are more knowledgeable than you, so that you benefit and they benefit.
The point is: you exert what you can in guiding people to good, the female students, those who sit with you at home, those who visit you, and the female teachers through studying together. You benefit from them if they are more knowledgeable than you, and you benefit them if you are more knowledgeable than them.
The point is: cooperating in righteousness and piety through studying together between you and the female teachers, and by guiding and teaching the female students, and so on at home with your sisters in Allah who visit you. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Regarding women teaching in mosques, His Eminence the Shaykh has a different opinion for some of your brothers, the students of knowledge, as he does not see it as permissible. What is the guidance of His Eminence the Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This requires detail: If it is possible for women to study in the mosque with a man who is not a source of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), while observing hijab (the covering prescribed for women), or if they are in a specific area that men do not enter, then there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no blame on them. The important thing is conveying knowledge to men and women. So if there is a specific area in the mosque, or in a school, or in the home, the important thing is to do what you can to convey knowledge to your sisters in Allah, or to the female students in the mosque, or in the school, or in her home, or in the home of one of her sisters. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
