It Is Forbidden For A Woman To Occupy A Position Of Ruling


Abu Bakr (may Allah satisfy him) said ‘Allah benefited me with a word I heard from the Prophet (SAW) in the days of al jamal (the Camel), when I was about to join the people of al-Jamal and fight with them, the news came that the people of Persia appointed the daughter of Kisrah as a queen for them."

The Prophet (SAW) said:

"People who make a woman their ruler will never succeed." (Bukhari)

The statement of the Prophet (SAW) that success will not come to those who appoint a woman to look after their affairs is a prohibition to appoint a female.

Because this statement Is a form of command, wherein the text Includes rebuke to those who appoint a woman. The rebuke is that success has been denied for them. This hadith contains more than just a request not to choose a woman. Because the denial of success
for the people who appoint a woman as their ruler, means the command is decisive. Therefore, the
appointment of a woman in a position of ruling is forbidden (haram). But this is not a general command for all matters, it is only specific to matters of ruling, whether the ruling be head of state, governor or any other position of ruling. Because the subject of the hadith is the appointment of the daughter of Kisrah as queen, it does not cover any topic besides ruling.

Apologise for not visiting here for long time

I was just going thru some of the new posts, which I had missed. I came accross this one and noted a very small error.

This Hadith was not narrated by Abu Bakr As-Sadiq rather another individual by the name of Abu BAKRA.

The modernist, I believe Turabi argued that women can take place of a ruler, and declared this hadith daif on the basis of the narrater, Abu Bakra.

This Abu Bakra is the same person who was the fourth witness in the famous case of fornication during the time of Umar (ra), where all the other witnesses backed down, therefore Abu Bakra was accused of creating doubt on the women and lashed.

On this basis they say that this Hadith is daif, since the long narrater Abu Bakra was a known liar. However as above this was not the case, and it is reported that throughout his life he would walk the streets and say 'they have declared me a liar, oh Allah be my witness'. Of course, he was not a known liar.

May Allah reward you for the correction!

Sorry, I'm still confused. So does that mean this hadith is daif and we don't accept it? or you were just clarifying the name of the narrator?

Sorry I wrote that in such a hurry, probably didnt make much sense.

First was the clarifcation of the narrater's name.

And second was clarification as to why modernist consider this hadith da'if.
