Is it sufficient for a woman to confine herself to her acts of worship and good manners, without undertaking positive and influential work for Islam, due to her inability to do so?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim woman is obligated to fulfill the rights of Allah and the rights of people. She must support Islam through all permissible means available, such as inviting others to the religion, teaching it, raising her children upon it, cooperating with other Muslim women, enjoining one another to truth and patience, and disseminating beneficial ideas through communication channels. She should also read the biographies of righteous women of early generations to emulate them. What a woman is naturally incapable of doing is not religiously mandated for her.
