Empowered Muslim Woman: ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY

How can a woman interact and participate in her society and community? What roles can she play?

Can a woman leave the home? What about the ayah that says "stay in your homes"?

Can a woman work? What if that means interacting with men? What are the examples of women who worked in our Seerah?

Is her voice Awrah? Has she been defined as "fitnah"? What does that mean?

Can a woman teach a mixed gathering of men and women?

Can she give fatwa? How about being a judge?

What about a governor, a president?

All of these questions have been discussed and debated by scholars for over a century. We will look at the Quran, Sunnah and work of our scholars to find the various answers to these questions inshaAllah.

Ustadha Safiya's series is based on the book "Tahreer ul Mara fi Asri Risalah" which translates to the Liberation of Women During the Time of the Message.
