Ladies qiraat jalsas
Question
Are ladies qiraat jalsas permissible? Should we participate, or is it a bidah?
Answer
We strongly discourage this. The hadeeth strongly advocates this lesson that a woman is something to be concealed. And when she expresses and exposes herself then shaytaan would try his utmost to deceive and trap people. If it was something good then the pious of the old would have definitely congregated for such things.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
