I keep hearing people say that the woman companions were not actively
involved in society, and that the few examples who were were
anomalies, and that women today should not take the exception as
the rule. But what about um sulei rodi Allahu anha, when on the day
of hunayn, she took out a dagger, and the Prophet, peace be upon
him, asked her about it, and she made him laugh with his response.
Was she an exception to the rule of woman, not being actively
engaged in society, invisibly present in public? What about a
Mother of the Believers who, in istijla, made Ethiop with the
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and without pads, tampons,
menstrual cups, she put a tray underneath her in the masjid to
catch the blood at a time when there was no partition between men
and women. Was she an exception to the rule? What about when Zainab,
the wife of ibn Masud, a scholar amongst the Companions, asked him
to ask the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, a question on her
behalf. And Ibn mesud responded to her by saying, Why don't you ask
him yourself, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Was she an exception to
the rule? Was his answer encouraging an exception to that
rule? What about when Asmaa narrates hearing and the message
of the Prophet? Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from the Prophet, peace
be upon him. What happens in the grave? And then all the Companions
got really loud, and she couldn't hear the end of what he said,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. So she turned to the man in front of
her and she said, may Allah bless you. And she asked him to fill her
in on what she missed was that interaction an anomaly in the time
of the Prophet. Peace be upon him. Many of us have heard the
statement of Aisha radiAllahu anha, who praised the woman of the
Ansar because their shyness did not keep them from asking
questions. But do you know why she made this statement? Because Asmaa
bin Sheik went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
asked about how to purify herself after *. She didn't ask
a man to go ask the Prophet, peace be upon him. That question on her
behalf and all of us now this whole Ummah has benefited from her
asking that question, Was she an anomaly to women being actively
present and visible in society? Ibn abisily mentioned seeing
samura Binu Haik actively, loudly, visibly, forcefully calling people
to good and forbidding evil. Imam Al tabarani talks about this
incident and says that it's not permissible for anyone to take
culture and place it over Islamic law, to take a path of
cautiousness and expect other people to be cautious. Why do you
think we have the rulings of hijab and how to interact with one
another? The example of even one of these women is greater than all
of us combined, and she would be enough of an example for us. When
people make this statement, ask for receipt.
