Re: When Women Emerge.
What if her husband does not ALLOW it?
I think its up to the parents to teach her or provide her the means to gain the knowledge of ALL kind.
After that husband has the authority but if she has not other activities and kids are at school or just not present then she should get any kind of ‘good’ ‘useful’ knowledge and that is still her right! Husband cannot for any weak reason stop her to gain knowledge if she observes shariah boundaries. Besides even if kids are home husband must give her time to learn new things and it can only help the family in future. Deeni knowledge is a must but we know this will NOT be sufficient.
Both kind of knowledges (if you insist in making distinction) are MANDATORY.
More knowledge is always better. We just do not know when our women may need to go out to safeguard our families and they need to be fully prepared.
Not just when the time of crisis come and they are left with no skills or techniques to survive in this world with our beloved children.
