Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions, she says: Your Eminence, is a woman going out to receive Islamic knowledge and teach in schools contrary to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ahzab: 33]?
Answer:
No, her going out to learn is not contrary to this. She is commanded to go out to study, and she is commanded to go out to pray the Eid prayer with the Muslims. If she goes out covered to hear the Friday sermon, or to pray with the people, there is nothing wrong with it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 But her home is better for her, as in the hadith: And if she goes out to learn in schools, there is nothing wrong with it; this has great benefit. However, it must be with her husband's permission. She must seek her husband's permission, if she has a husband. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, and may He bless you and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
