Title

Woman giving speech in front of non-mahram men

Question

This is a question regarding my wifes sisters daughter. She has been studing thafseer of the quran & hadeeth & so on & on eid day she came in front of us, which had all my wifes sisters husbands as well & started giving a lecture on Taqwa & Jannath. My question is is it possible for her to give a lecture like when non mahrams are present??

Jazakallah

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Dear Brother,

It is not permissible for a woman to come in front of [ghair mahram] men and address them without a need.

The [ghair mahram] men can get advice on taqwa and Jannah from males.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
