What are the rights of females in Islam regarding the following issues: 1) Rights of a female on education at tertiary institutes 2) Rights in governa

Answer

Rights of a female on education at tertiary institutes The Qur'aan Majeed and the Ahaadith explicitly and emphatically prohibit females emerging from their homes. Even for the acquisition of higher Islamic education, it is not permissible for a female to emerge from her home without the consent of her husband/ father.

Furthermore, the consent of the husband/father will be valid and permissible only if higher Knowledge is available in a setting where there is no violation of Hijaab or threat to Akhlaaq and Imaan. In view of this prohibition it is not permissible for females to attend even the girls madrasahs of this era.

This prohibition will apply to a greater degree to secular education. The secular institutions, that is the prevailing environment at these institutes, are nugatory of Hijaab and also of Imaan, hence it is not permissible for them to attend such institutions. In fact, it is haraam for even males to attend these institutions which are dens of vice, fisq, fujoor and kufr.

The primary and natural role of the female is the home. Allah Ta'ala has not created her for any role outside the home. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had clarified this fact on the occasion of the marriage of Hadhrat

Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) to Hadhrat

Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu). Furthermore, the Qur'aan Majeed emphatically prohibits female emergence. Only real need justifies and permits their emergence which is also subject to stringent rules of Hijaab.

2) Rights in governance When the daughter of the Persian emperor was proclaimed the ruler, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Never will prosper a nation who entrusts its affairs to a female." Females have no rights regarding governance. Their governance is restricted to the home. Governance for women is a concept forged by the atheists of this era. In terms of Islam, females have absolutely no share in governance. Their governance is restricted to the home.

3) Rights on democracy Islam does not recognize democracy. Democracy as are all other systems of governance of non-Muslims, are haraam and kufr. It is not permissible for even males to participate in democracy. The Qur'aan Majeed states explicitly:

"Those who do not govern according to that (Shariah) revealed by Allah, verily they are the kaafiroon."

4) Rights a lawyer, dentist, teacher and being a chef All branches of secular education are not permissible for females, not because secular education is per se prohibited, but because of the immoral environment and activities prevailing at all secular institutions. Even female madrasahs are inimical for Akhlaaq. When Haya is destroyed at even madrasahs which impart Deeni Ta'leem, then one can understand better the satanic consequences of the institutions where satanism and evil are the ethos and the methodology of teaching. Every demand of the Shariah is eliminated in these secular institutions.
