Q: In regards to the fitna of feminism arising, many our Muslim women have fallen for this wherein if you try to advise them that university and offices is not a place for a Muslim woman, their argument is that Hazrat Khadeejah (radhiyallahu anha) was a businesswoman. My question is:
I find that using Hazrat Khadeejah (radhiyallahu anha) as an example of why they want to work in the corporate sector saying she was a businesswoman, etc. is very disrespectful towards the mother of the Muslim women. How do I explain to them that using the Sahaabiyyaat as examples is very disrespectful?
A: This is baseless and a false accusation against Hazrat Khadeejah (radhiyallahu anha). All that she had done was that she had made an investment. She did not go out doing business. She just forwarded finance. Like any woman would forward finance to her husband or brother to do a purchase.
This is a fabrication and accusation against the personality of Hadhrat Khadeejah (radhiyallahu anha). It is compulsory to make taubah for this type of insult and wrong justification.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
