Re: why woman is not allowed to become Imam (leader)
I think the answer is obvious ... the leader is subject to scrutiny and talk ...
Women should be sacrosanct to anything that could harm their persona ... Leadership puts them in the limelight why burden women with such things? Men have a different role and are scrutinised in different ways.
Then when a woman is going through her cycles people will know because her attitude will change in public for everyone to see ...
