The question

Is it legislated for a woman who possesses religious knowledge and has memorized the Book of Allah to isolate herself from society for fear of premature prominence, lack of sufficient knowledge, absence of a mentor, being influenced by society, falling into speaking about Allah without knowledge, and succumbing to self-admiration and showing off?

The answer

Teaching people what is good is a religious obligation that a Muslim should not miss. It is an obligation to the best of one's ability. The one who has memorized the Book of Allah should teach others, and whoever has learned a chapter should teach it. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded conveying from him, even if it be a single verse, and he commanded the Companions to teach their families. Teaching is a great door among the doors of goodness, leading to a great and continuous reward, like the reward of one who calls to guidance, and like knowledge from which benefit is derived after a person's death. It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge to combine knowledge with da'wah (invitation to Islam), action, reform, and sincere advice, and to have high aspirations in everything that benefits people.
