Men given the responsibility of being rulers
Question
This is not to ask from a feminist point of view, are men considered more perfect, or at least better than women?
Answer
Allah Ta`ala has ruled that men are rulers over women. Some reasons are obvious, that they are stronger physically, mentally and emotionally. However, the ruling does not mean that they should exploit them and be rude. It means that they should take good care of them and guide them correctly.
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.
