Is it permissible for a woman to be in charge of an Islamic organization?

Question

Is it permissible for a woman to be in charge of an Islamic organization? The imam of our Musjid works under a female principal of the maktab.

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Never shall prosper such people who hand their affairs to a woman."

It is not permissible for a woman to be the head of an Islamic organization. The imam who works under a female principal is a cuckold/ dayyooth. It is not permissible.
