Summary
This Bayan Linnas is not a ruling but a reflection on lessons. It cites the hadith of Abu Bakrah about the daughter of Kisra to show that the Prophet SAW was attentive to developments in neighbouring nations, and it does not discuss female leadership further. Muslims are urged to build noble character and an Islamic personality, and to prepare with all available strength based on Surah al-Anfal verse 60, including knowledge, character, worship, family harmony and firm principles. The statement also notes that it is too early to draw firm conclusions until the foreign policies of the new administration become clear.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami tidak mahu mengulas dengan lebih lanjut berkenaan kepemimpinan wanita kerana ia merupakan perbahasan yang sangat luas dalam perbendaharaan politik Islam.
