Question
There appears to be a global trend of women clamouring to attend Musaajid for Salaat and other social activities. The new brand Molvis in our country are also encouraging this trend. They encourage women to emulate the example of the 'liberated' women of Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, etc. This growing trend is evidenced by the incremental process of Muslims in South Africa providing facilities to accommodate ladies when constructing Musaajid. Muslims no longer view this as a violation of the Shariah. Please comment on this state of affairs.
Answer
The global trend of fisq and fujoor (vice and immorality) while distressing is not surprising. It is only to be expected. The predictions of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) have to materialize. Qiyaamah has to take place. The increase in fisq and fujoor is relative to the closeness of Qiyaamah. These trends of immorality in the Muslim community have not been introduced by modernists nor by the females. The evil which is wracking the Ummah is the machination of the ulama-e-soo' who are the propounders and fabricators of vice in our times. Hence Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) himself said that the time will dawn when the 'ulama will be the worst of mankind under the sky'. Thus, the closer we move towards the confines of Qiyaamah, the greater will be the increment in female exhibitionism, female lewdism, female emergence from the holy precincts of the home, female nudity, female participation in activities which Islam has demarcated for only males and female immodesty until the stage is reached when Arab women will be "gyrating with their buttocks around idols" – Hadith.
An apt punishment for these ulama -e-soo' who entice and lure women from out of their homes to attend the Musaajid for Salaat, thikr and other haraam activities is to bury them alive, and the pits to be filled with stones, not sand. They have destroyed themselves and they have destroyed the Ummah.
