Muslim women joining the army

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-01-30 07:36

Q: Can Muslim women join the army in today's time?

A: No, it is not permissible for women to take part in the army. The Quraan Majeed and the Hadith Shareef has emphasised that the best place for women is the home. They should remain within the confines of their homes and not leave unless for a valid reason. In this lies true dignity and self respect for them. Similarly, them remaining concealed from the sight of strange men is a means of safeguarding their deen and chastity.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
