Question
Lately there has been a rise of internet "scholars" also known as dawah bros. They preach islam mainly focusing on female, they always talk about hijab, female education all that stuff. I am not sure they have the qualifications to be saying these things and they always talk rudely and speak like women are the problem. They hardly talk about men and what men should do for do ummah, they don't share the real values of islam and they are making people look at islam badly. This is another reason many Muslim women are becoming feminists because they are make islam look like a controlling, male centered religion. Some of them even said a woman's voice is fitnah so I want to know your opinion on all of this
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedThe true essence of Islam is based on balance, rights, and wisdom. Portraying only men as responsible for spreading Islam is a wrong notion. History provides clear evidence that many women played a significant role in spreading Islam and transmitting knowledge. In particular, Ammฤ Aisha (RA), who was the most knowledgeable among the female companions, and from whom even the Sahabah themselves sought knowledge. This shows that in Islam, not only men but also women have an active role in spreading the religion and knowledge.
Regarding a womanโs voice, saying that it is always a source of fitnah (temptation) is a generalization made without knowledge or context. Shariโah does not consider this true in every case, and making such statements is akin to issuing a fatwa without proper basis, which can confuse people.
Islamic teachings give equal importance to the responsibilities, respect, knowledge, and wisdom of both genders. Men and women are both encouraged to be active in propagating Islam, practicing it, and contributing to society.
Therefore, our opinion is completely opposed to the statements of these internet โDawah brosโ. Islam is not male-centered, and labeling a womanโs voice or role as fitnah is incorrect. The true Islam is a religion based on balance, knowledge, wisdom, and rights.
