[saima abdullah]

:salam2:
may Allah keep all of us safe and keep us in the best state of emaan
just puting a question here.. as a female should i go outside for dawah .... many ppl stress to join a dawah team to stay on the right path ... but i have seen to much fitna in that young girls set out of home for dawah and somehow fall into any kind of fitna one of sister who was working with in the institute did court marriage... after she fell in a fitna .. just wan know how much a female can do ...what are the limits ...?:

Assalaam walaikum,

When you represent Islam and try to educate others you have to be on guard as a female. I work with another sister. This way we make sure the other is not going on a wild trek. We protect each other. We bounce ideas. We plan our sessions. We have an outline and an agenda. We have to be very organized and remain focused on our agenda.
Fitna enters if the purpose of your mission is not defined. You have to be on the same page and always remember why you are there.

,

but if you have knowledge, you should try to impart it to others.

an imam giving a lecture to young girls to cover properly will not do much compared to group of pious women speak to them, show them their ways, have a friendly chat with them, etc.

we, men cant socialise and mix with women. so who is going to reform them?

i dont say go out all alone or mix with strangers, but move out with ur mahrams, group of women, etc.

and Allah knows best.

I'm not a scholar and I do not have enough knowledge as to go out on Dawah missions yet.

But in my opinion, it would be best for you to gather like minded sisters from your neighbourhood or workplace or university, if you are attending one, and form a group. Conduct talk sessions giving advice to or listening to those that maybe weaker in their Iman, thus helping them. You do not necessarily have to join an established team as long as you have good/right knowledge and you are confident that you'll be able to help atleast one other person.

Pray to Allah(swt), and Allah(swt) will indeed take care of the affairs.

Allah(swt) knows best.

to be on the safe you may invite only women to islam.

[saima abdullah]

subhan Allah i just wanted to know the tradition of salaf ....what was their practice ... m not well today i will share some details tomarrow inshaAllah

Keeping in the limitations set by Islam and maintaining your Hijab then you can conduct Daawah activities. I being a boy do talk to woman about Islam like Hijab but always keep my gaze lowered, never look at each other.

 

[Abu Talib]

Shiekh`Abdul `Azeez ibn Baaz رحمه الله was asked if there any way to facilitate the opportunities (for da’wah) for the female callers to Allaah Subhaanahu wa ta’aalah? ? He replied as follows​

I do not know of anything that should prevent this. Whenever there is a woman present who is qualified to give Da’wah to Allaah Subhaanahu, she should be aided and it should be requested of her to direct/provide guidance to women because they are in need of female advisors/guiders of their own kind.

The presence of a female caller amongst women may be more beneficial in conveying the Da’wah to the path of the truth [to them] than a man. A woman maybe too shy to tell a man about the issues that concern her, or there may be something that prevents her from listening to the Da’wah from a man, but this is not the case when she is with a female caller because she mixes with her, relates to her what she is concerned with and she is also affected by a female caller more [than a man].

So it is imperative upon those who have knowledge from amongst the women to perform what is Waajib (compulsory) upon them in relation to Da’wah and directing [other women] to everything that is good according to the best of their abilities, as Allaah ‘Az wa Jal says:

{Invite/call (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islaam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Quraan) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.} [An Nahl/175]

He also says:

{Say (O Muhammad ): "This is my way; I invite/call to Allaah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah - Islaamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me..} [Yusuf/108]

He says as well:

{And who is better in speech than he who invites/calls to Allaah (Islaamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims.} [Fussilat/33]

And His saying:

{So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can…} [At Taghaabun/16]

The verses of this meaning are plentiful and they are general to both men and women and Allaah is the granter of success.

[saima abdullah]

my question is still there what was practice of salaf coz this fatwa can not to be implemented in all situations only sunnah of sahabiyat is a sloution for all the time and a ll the situations coz their source was divine .. i m basically of view of brother noor aladen (i guess he is brother) giving you a situation is it the right way to do dawah? . there were sisters of age like 17 to 18 came to my home for ramazan short course invitation... they were from far cities like more then 260 miles away from my city and in Islamabad they were living in hostel on the other corner of city ..i m mentioning it to tell how much they travel alone... they came my home i just asked them i m interested come in they readily came in no hesitation ... i led them to my room they sat there m not saying they were bad girls they were such innocent girls may Allah keep them safe .... but i was thinking if i would intend to harm them they were easy target... the next time when they came i was thinking to stop them in my room just to teach them a lesson that ppl are not good enough to do blind trust ,,, they may fall in some wrong hands but couldn't do that bcoz their sheep looks ,,,,so innocent ,,, basic problem was with their teachers who sent them that far in strange city .....that is all i hope you will get my point this time...is this right form of dawah ... even in the same city we have to travel in taxi.. without mehrum is it ok ???????

Assalaam walaikum,

Let me get this:
1. Girls were invitied to your home for some ramazan work.
2. These were young girls who live in a hostel but live 250 miles away
3. You are scared for these girls who travel unaccompanied and ride in taxi's.

I have no framework to answer your questions. In my world it is safe for a girl to ride a taxi. It is safer than riding a bus.

Outside of that if I were to make a comment it would not make sense as your scenario makes little sense to me. I pray someone can help you.

 

[Al-Kashmiri]

As-salaamu `alaykum

Considering the reports I've read and what I've seen in Pakistan, that's pretty dangerous. Seriously, I hate to say it but a bus of sisters travelling 200+ miles is less likely to be harmed here in the UK than in Pakistan.
