Are the Sharia rulings related to women incompatible with the current era?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This statement is incorrect and a fabrication from the proponents of modernism who reject the Sharia. Islam is steadfast and suitable for every time and place. Allah Almighty says: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion." Thus, Allah has perfected the religion, so Muslims are in no need of anything else, nor do they need a prophet other than their Prophet. Everything that Allah has informed us of is truth and verity, truthful in its reports and just in its commands and prohibitions. And when the religion was perfected, the favor was completed. Scholars have agreed that it is not permissible to add to, subtract from, or alter the religion after the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and whoever does so is a disbeliever. Societies that succumbed to these claims, which contravene the Sharia, did not advance and clung to innovations.
