Woman giving speech in front of non-mahram men
Question
This is a question regarding my wifes sisters daughter. She has been studing thafseer of the quran & hadeeth & so on & on eid day she came in front of us, which had all my wifes sisters husbands as well & started giving a lecture on Taqwa & Jannath. My question is is it possible for her to give a lecture like when non mahrams are present??
Jazakallah
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear Brother,
It is not permissible for a woman to come in front of [ghair mahram] men and address them without a need.
The [ghair mahram] men can get advice on taqwa and Jannah from males.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
