Ansari Women Who Live with Family Members Who Oppose the Call and Naturally Prevent - Jurisprudential Answers - Miscellaneous Issues, Vol 5

Ahmed al-Hasan Response:

May Allah welcome you, my daughter. A woman certainly has a major role; a man cannot replace the woman's role because she has a particular character that he does not possess, and a woman's social influence can at times greatly exceed a man's. An educated woman who can address society and influence it certainly carries an ethical duty toward her society, especially when she sees oppression consuming her people and their rights, and the other women should support her and go out with her. As for women going out to demonstrations, there are several previous answers you can review, and I did not say that demonstrating is a religious obligation upon women.
