Question
Is it permissible for a woman to go out of her home to teach in a madrasah where the laws of purdah are strictly observed?
Answer
We have to answer your question in the context of prevailing circumstances. We are not aware of any girls madrasah where Purdah laws are strictly observed. You are perhaps not aware of the Shar'i concept and meaning of Purdah. Almost all people labour under the baseless misconception that purdah refers to only the outer-cloak and the niqaab. To understand what Qur'aanic Purdah is, read our two booklets on Hijaab. If you do not have these books, we shall forward same to you if you are interested. In the circumstances, it is not permissible for a woman to leave home for teaching in a madrasah.
