The Ruling On A Woman Going Out For Dawah By His Daughter Sukaynah

The Ruling on a Woman Going Out for Daʿwah From the Rulings of Imām Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn ibn Nūḥ al-Albānī | Authored by his daughter Sukaynah (raḥimahallāh)

In recent decades, the practice of women leaving their homes in organized groups for the purpose of daʿwah has become widespread in many Muslim communities. Yet the Islamic ruling on this practice — particularly as it relates to the conditions of travel, the role of the maḥram, and the limits of a woman's religious obligations — deserves careful examination in light of the Quran and authentic Sunnah.

In this focused work, Sukaynah al-Albānī presents the rulings and positions of her father, Imām al-Albānī, on this specific and often misunderstood issue. Rather than relying on popular opinion or organizational custom, she returns to the scholarship of one of the foremost muḥaddithīn of the twentieth century to clarify what the evidences actually establish.

Topics addressed include:

• The Islamic conditions governing a woman's travel and going out
• Whether organized daʿwah excursions without a maḥram are permissible
• Imām al-Albānī's direct rulings and their evidential basis
• The distinction between a woman's role in daʿwah and practices that contradict the Sunnah
• Responses to common arguments used to justify such outings

Concise, evidenced, and grounded in the scholarship of Imām al-Albānī, this book fills an important gap for Muslim women, their families, and daʿwah workers seeking clarity on a widely practiced but insufficiently scrutinized matter.

Ideal for: Muslim women, students of fiqh, daʿwah organizations, and anyone seeking a Sunnī scholarly perspective on the boundaries and conditions of a woman's participation in daʿwah work.
