What is the reason for the creation of women, and what is the role of the Muslim woman in life? Is a woman's work, if it goes against the conditions set by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, considered unlawful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Islam has granted women an elevated status, honoring them as females, daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers, and positioning them in their rightful place. The fundamental principle regarding women's work is permissibility, provided the work is free from prohibitions. Allah created everything with wisdom, whether we know it or not. Woman is a complete human being and the counterpart of man; humanity cannot endure or continue without both of them.
