Facilitating the Opportunities for Female Du’aat
As Shaykh Al ‘Alaamah ‘Abdul ‘Azeez Ibn Baaz (رحمه الله)


Question: Is there any way to facilitate the opportunities [for Da’wah] for the female callers to Allaah Subhaanahu wa ta’aalah?

Answer: 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 grantor of success.

السؤال: هل من سبيل إلي تهيئة الفرصة أمام الداعية إلى الله سبحانه؟

الجواب: لا اعلم مانعاً من ذلك، متى وجدت المرأة الصالحة للقيام بالدعوة إلي الله سبحانه فينبغي أن تعان، وان يطلب منها أن تقوم بإرشاد بنات جنسها، لان النساء في حاجة إلي مرشدات من بنات جنسهن، وان وجود المرأة بين النساء قد يكون انفع في تبليغ الدعوة إلي طريق الحق من الرجل، فقد تستحيى المرأة من الرجل في أن تبدى له ما يهمها، وقد يمنعها مانع من سماع الدعوة من الرجل، لكنها مع المرأة الداعية بخلاف ذلك، لأنها تخالطها وتعرض ما عندها وتتأثر بها أكثر.

فالواجب على من لديها علم من النساء أن تقوم بالواجب نحو الدعوة والتوجيه إلي الخير حسب طاقتها لقول الله عز وجل: {ادع إلي سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة وجادلهم بالتي هي أحسن} وقوله عز وجل: { قل هذه سبيلي أدعو إلي الله علي بصيرة أنا ومن اتبعني} وقوله سبحانه: { ومن أحسن قولاً ممن دعا ألي الله وعمل صالحاً وقال إنني من المسلمين}, وقوله عز وجل: { فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم} والآيات في هذا المعني كثيرة وهي تعم الرجال والنساء والله ولي التوفيق.
