Ahmad Kutty – Can a woman lead her family in Taraweeh at home

Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim

Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While he was

having a domain, I have received a question

which is to do with the unprecedented situation we have,

where people cannot go on prayer therapy at home at the masajid. So

they ended up without any choice except to do it at home.

And at home, they face this situation where the husband

is not a scholar of Islam is not a recital of Quran. And whether the

wife is she has, maybe sometimes she's a half either of Quran

or she can read better, she has Tajweed that she has mastered the

art of Tajweed. And she's also knowledgeable in Islam. So either

any any last ruling in Islam, allowing that woman who is to lead

her family, her husband, her children, and maybe her parents,

and maybe her brothers and sisters, at home, in therapy, is

it allowed?

Of course, the answer to this question is that you will get the

ready made answer from our

standard scholarship is that it cannot be done. You know, when

they would quote Sandra, dubious traditions, our hero will not keep

woman back, they should go back they are not supposed to. Men have

been endowed with this honor, a privilege and you cannot take it

away from men and men should be leading all the time.

Of course I agree with them, that in Islam,

we are not allowed to appoint a woman to lead us in a masjid in

Joomla. We cannot we cannot do that. I don't agree with that. And

I have given a detailed answer on this issue and you can access it.

But the question of a woman leading

for her family members who are not who are her Muharram

are no strangers to her.

Is there any allowance? Any precedent? In in in the in the

Sunnah of the Prophet and the practice of the pious predecessors

for it?

Yes, I would say there is a person for it. There is a tradition

reported Ramadan Dhabi and others. We say that Rasulullah Salallahu

Salam appointed OMO Baraka, who was the woman well known for her

expertise in the Quran,

to lead her family members in Salah

and the Prophet also appointed them for her

who was an elderly man, this is a Hadith some people have cast

doubts on it, but I will tell you others have accepted it, including

Mohammed Guna, humble and even a marine and others. When others

question the narrator they have said he is a reliable person and

the Hadees is sound. So, you cannot question the expertise of

Imam Muhammad when humble or Abram windy are, you know eminent

scholars of Hadith or critiques of Hadith? You know, so you cannot

easily dismiss this. Something in vendored or dubious or spurious?

No, it is a valid it's a sound tradition. And that is why a

number of scores including robbery, Jury recovery, who is one

of the greatest Mufasa seen, No one writes a tafsir without

referring to his Tafseer is a foundational text intercede and

also Mazuri abou Sol, and some others have also allowed this and

based on this tradition, Imam Ahmed will humble also approved

the entire army and have offered prayers where women may be more.

You have a situation of woman be more knowledgeable in Quran and

Islam. She should be allowed to lead the prayer

And this was also endorsed by another great scholar of Islam. In

mobility we are some people will cast doubts on his authenticity.

But definitely, he has been considered a shareholder Islam by

so many more than a dozen of great eminent scholars is definitely in

spite of all those criticism against him. I don't agree with

some of his views, but that was not as a minute a shower EULA,

very sad. You know, he's a man who respected who regard her highly

even RB, the suit, Sufi Sheikh, and even a TV at the same time.

Some people will say, how can you reconcile the two and this is the

comprehensive nature of showering with the hula we who whose mind

can be said both of them are only Allah has some of the best scores

of Islam. And so of course, don't dismiss Imam and Beretania even if

you accept even RMB or share a shareholder Akbar, he shareholders

even a Tamia is also a shareholder Islam. So this is a valid ruling

you can follow. And actually I came to this conclusion. You know,

when I started out in my fatwa 25 years ago, I was it was forced

upon me. Islam online forced me to give this fatwa so on their

website. So this question came, you have lot of cases of, you

know, women, Muslim women who are sometimes quarters in Islam,

marry, convert, and this person doesn't is new to Islam. He

doesn't even read fattier properly. So this question came,

can that woman lead her husband and he's able to read the Quran

properly and lead I had, I saw I probably the sources, I found

this. And then later on also, I found out that one of the greatest

callers who died a few years ago, Professor Hamidullah from Paris,

he's a great scholar of Islam, his contribution, very high

contributions to the course of Islam, on Sierra and other sources

on the works of the prophets and allowed Islam. He also came up

with this ruling, you know, because this question was posed to

him also, because he was living in Paris, and there were converts to

Islam, who did not know how to read Quran and their wife were

able to read. So the fatwa he gives the fatwa Yes, she can lead

for her family. So I will just fatwa to allow for women who are

researchers, proper researchers to run or to fall to lead the family

members, of course, only family members and variable this time.

If it was required for Omar to stand behind, then Prophet would

have told her, yes, you should lead, but go and pray stand behind

to leave them.

You know, in the Sharia, you know, when there is a need for an issue

to be explained clearly, a rule to be explained clearly. And the

Prophet did not do so. If he is silent, then we are not supposed

to impose that restriction. So she can stand afterall what is that?

She is not avoiding to distract her husband. She's not going to

distract her parents or children.

If this distraction is the point, then of course, in the Haram is

happening. We know women are praying in front of men in each

situation, and our situation. And the Prophet himself. We know from

the president of the Prophet, he used to pray and actually learn is

lying in front of him.

If you have a wife cause a distraction, how will the prophets

that allows him allow her to lie down in front of him? So I would

say she can lead and stand in front and others can follow. She

doesn't need to go forward as an auditor. If you want to do that.

That's fine. Otherwise, she can just step one step ahead, and

stand and lead others can follow. And my last one, oh, God help us.

We have said it right. It is a gift from Allah subhanaw taala and

accepted, what is wrong, may Allah forgive us. And it's an EGTRRA in

Etihad, you cannot condemn anybody. Unfortunately, our scores

are in a rush, whatever. They don't know the difference with the

condom. This is one the quality of Islamic scholarship because Islam,

one of the first principle there is to teach malaria

Hey,

Yara Militello

lumea Schumer, whoever doesn't know the difference of opinion in

issue of fake, he did not even smell it, let alone master it.

Because otherwise you are going to condemn people who hold a

different view. So, respect each other, even if we differ, this is

the precedent set by Iris by the prophets allows him also and

because resources allows him condone this differences. I will

explain it later on. And the Sahaba differ and yet they prayed

behind each other, respected each other. This is the tradition we

need to follow. A Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
