Question
Is it permissible for females to hold positions in an organization? Can a woman be a judge? According to some modernists it is permissible.
Answer
It is not permissible to appoint a woman to any position of Amaanat (trust) or leadership. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Never will a people who hand their affairs to a woman be successful." "Place them behind in the way Allah has relegated them to the back."
The kutub of Fiqh clearly state the impermissibility of women being judges. This is according to all Math-habs. The modernists are juhhala (morons) who neither understand nor accept such rulings of the Shariah which conflict with their nafs.
The primary role of woman is the home. Allah Ta'ala has created her and cast her into the domestic mould. Whenever the natural laws of Allah Ta'ala are violated or the roles inverted, the consequences are fitnah, fasaad and immorality.
