Question
Another argument is that in this day and age women should be permitted to attend segregated lectures and Islamic courses in the Masjid on the basis that the male folk of the house are too busy and redundant in terms of Islamic knowledge and spirituality. Is this a case of necessity?
Answer
The argument is absolutely baatil. They must remain at home. Their husbands should arrange for their ta'leem. Either he should teach them or some mahram male. Books nowadays are available abundantly. The Shariah may not be cast aside to satisfy every stupid argument. If they do not arrange for the requisite Ta'leem of the womenfolk, then both the men and women will be answerable to Allah Ta'ala on the Day of Qiyaammah. The women of today have no valid argument for claiming that the necessary amount of Deeni Knowledge is not available at home or within the precincts of the neighbourhood. The women and even 6 year old children nowadays are extremely advanced in all the sciences of filth and immorality via the internet. Their claim for going to public lectures is satanically inspired.
