Are women allowed to be rulers in the islamic shariah? (i would prefer evidence from the Qur'an).

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

We appreciate our brother’s keenness to find out and follow the evidence from the Qur’aan, but there will not necessarily be evidence specifically from the Qur’aan for every issue. Rather the evidence for many rulings is to be found in the saheeh Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), not the Qur’aan. The Muslim has to follow the evidence of both the Qur’aan and Sunnah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination”

[al-Nisa’ 4:59]

Allaah has commanded us to obey Him and to obey His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and He has commanded us to refer matters of dispute to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it). And fear Allaah; verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment”

[al-Hashr 59:7]

Ibn Maajah (12) narrated from al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Yakrib that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Soon there will come a time when a man will be reclining on his pillow, and when one of my hadeeth is narrated to him, he will say, ‘The Book of Allaah is (sufficient) between us and you. Whatever it states is permissible we will take as permissible, and whatever it states is forbidden, we will take as forbidden.’ Verily, whatever the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has forbidden is like that which Allaah has forbidden.”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 8186

Secondly:

The evidence from the Qur’aan and Sunnah indicates that it is not permissible for a woman to assume positions of senior public authority, such as the caliph (khaleefah), minister of state (wazeer or vizier) or judge (qaadi) and so on.

1 – Evidence from the Qur’aan:

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means”

[al-Nisa 4:34]

Al-Qurtubi said:

The words “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women” mean that they spend on them and protect them, and also that they (men) are the rulers and governors, and the ones who go on military campaigns, and none of these are the role of women.

Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 5/168.

Ibn Katheer said:

It means the man is in charge of the woman; he is her leader, the ruler over her who disciplines her if she goes astray.

“because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other” means, because men are superior to woman, and a man is better than a woman. Hence Prophethood was given only to men, as is the role of caliph, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No people will ever prosper who appoint a woman in charge of them.”

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/492.

2 –Evidence from the Sunnah:

It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard that the people of Persia had appointed the daughter of Chosroes as their queen, he said, “No people will ever prosper who appoint a woman in charge of them.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4163.

Al-Shawkaani said in Nayl al-Awtaar, 8/305:

This indicates that women are not qualified to rule, and it is not permissible for people to appoint them as rulers, because they must avoid that which will cause them not to prosper.

Al-Maawirdi said, in the context of his discussion of the position of wazeer:

It is not permissible for a woman to play this role, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “No people will prosper if they delegate their affairs to a woman.” And because these positions require wisdom and resolve, which women may be lacking in, and requires appearing in public to handle matters directly, which is haraam for them to do.

Al-Ahkaam al-Sultaaniyyah, p. 46.

Ibn Hazm (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, in the context of his discussion on the role of caliph:

There is no dispute that it is not permissible for a woman (to be caliph).

Al-Fasl fi’l-Milal wa’l-Nihal, 4/129.

In al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (21/270) it says:

The fuqaha’ are agreed that one of the conditions of the position of caliph is that the holder should be male. The leadership of a woman is not valid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No people will ever prosper who appoint a woman in charge of them.” That is also so that he will be able to mix with men, to devote his time solely to dealing with affairs of state, and because this position involves handling very serious matters. The responsibility is great and this is a man’s role.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked the following question:

What is the Islamic view on a woman being nominated as a candidate for the position of head of state, or head of a government, or a public ministry?

He replied:

It is not permissible to appoint or elect a woman as head of state. This is indicated by the Qur’aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus. In the Qur’aan, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other…”

[al-Nisa 4:34]

The ruling in the verse is general and includes a man’s position of leadership in his family, and applies more so to his position of public leadership. This ruling is supported by the reason given in the verse itself, which is men’s intellectual superiority and better understanding etc, which are basic qualifications for leadership.

In the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No people will ever prosper who appoint a woman in charge of them.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari.

Undoubtedly this hadeeth indicates that it is haraam for a woman to take a position of public leadership, or to become the governor of a province or city, because all of that comes under the general meaning of the hadeeth, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that those who appoint a woman as their leader will never prosper. Prospering means being successful and doing well.

The ummah unanimously agreed in practical terms at the time of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and the imams of the first three generations, which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) testified were the best of generations, that women should not be appointed as governors or judges. There were women who were brilliant in religious knowledge, to whom scholars would refer concerning knowledge of Qur’aan, hadeeth and religious rulings, but no woman aspired to positions of public leadership during that time or any other position of that nature. The shar’i responsibilities of such positions cannot be carried out by women, because that involves travelling to the provinces, and mixing with the members of the ummah, and meeting with them, and leading the army sometimes in jihad, and negotiating with the enemy, and accepting oaths of allegiance from members of the ummah, and meeting with them, men and women, at times of war and peace, and so on. This is not appropriate for a woman, and it goes against the rulings of sharee’ah that are established to protect her and keep her safe from having to go out and mix in such a manner.

Rationally speaking, women should not be given positions of public office, because what is required of the one who is chosen for such a position is that he should a man of great resolve, determination, smartness, will power and good management skills. These characteristics are lacking in women because they have been created with weakness in their intellect and thinking, and with strong emotions, so electing them to such positions is not in the interests of the Muslims and does not help them to achieve greatness.

And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.

:salam2:
the bit i have highlighted, can anyone provide any evidence from the Quran, Sunnah, where it actually says that women have less intellect. the responsibilty of raising the sort of man that requires the characteristics of a great caliph these days lies with the mother. she would have to have great intellect to raise her child.

i agree with the fact that women may not be able to become leaders, becos of high emotions that sometimes is due to their physiology (hormones), thats the way Allah (swt) created them, and the nature of the work would go against what Allah (swt) has ordained for women. this is all fine and makes logical sense. but i really dont think that great women like Fatima and Aishah (may allah be pleased with them) had a weakness with ther intellect, maybe different to what a great caliph may have, but not a weakness.

unfortuantaly in many countries when words are thrown together without real consideration, it gives excuse to sum men, that their wifes are second class citizens, and they ignore the countless evidence in the Quran and sunnah, of the importance and equalness of women.

does anyone undersatnd what im saying? i apologise if i got this wrong, its just something that striked me as an odd statement. i by all means am not saying that women can be made leaders, Allah(swt) and the sunnah of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us why. the best thing about Islam, is that everything follows through and is consistent, and to a non-muslim should make complete logical sense after they have gone through reasons and history behind statements.

im rambling on now.

Women are not lacking in those areas. Did he even meet any women? Is he honestly saying that Mary, Khadijah, and A'isha lacked great resolve, determination, smartness, will power or good management skills? That's ridiculous. Women aren't allowed in those positions in order to protect their safety, modesty and integrity, not because they aren't "good enough."

:ma: nice idea but insha Allah we will find nice leaders or caliphs.women have their own responsebilites and men have their own. been a leader is not good choice for women beocz they have lots of problems than men do. so i would say Allah subhana wata'ala know whats the best for his creatures. in ISLAM women have nice place and they are respected.

there are sisters who are "leaders" of their community by been active in islamic activities and trying there best to please Allah :)

there is something that sisters can do in which veeeeery hard for the brothers to do which is been a very good mother and raising "cute mujahidin :p ".. when they grow up, the "cute mujahidin" become leaders of their community.. with stronger communities, we have a strong islamic country... and so, we have sisters leaders and brothers leader... been a mother is not easy at all and very rewarding that's why muslim-enemies tried to attack muslim sisters with all kind of media and other...everyone has responsibilities in his/her life, we'll be asked about them!!!... let us work for our after-life....
