The that commands not to accommodate women in upper chambers, not to teach them writing, but to teach them spinning and An-Nur, is a very weak and fabricated Hadith. This is because one of its narrators is accused of lying, and another's narrations are abandoned.
The other Hadith that commands teaching men Surah Al-Ma'idah and women Surah An-Nur has a weak and mursal chain of narration.
As for the command to teach women Surah An-Nur, it has been narrated from Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, with a chain of narration whose narrators are trustworthy.
