Fatwa #25627 August 2000Pakistan

I read that one of the signs of judgement day is women being subordinates to their husbands.

Question

Does this mean that women have no value in Islam?

Answer

Kindly refer to our article, 'Equality and Status of Woman in Islam' at http://www.jamiat.org.za/isinfo/ewomen.html The purpose of Hijaab is not to frustrate a female. It is to protect her chastity. She may exit her house and visit friends and family, etc. To frustrate a female by closing by closing her in the house all day long is un-Islamic. And Allah Taãla Knows Best. Was salaam Mufti Ebrahim Desai
Something wrong with this record?
