The female journalists you mentioned are not role models; rather, the role models are those committed to the , such as the Mothers of the Believers, the venerable female Companions, and the women of the righteous predecessors. Adherence to the is a strong manifestation of commitment, but it is only one part of Allah's commands for women. Therefore, she must complete it with the rest of the religious commands, such as refraining from nams (plucking eyebrows), tattooing, hair extensions, and other similar practices.
