The Rights and Duties of Women in Islam...
1) Education:-
The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) once said: "Acquiring
knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim. (At-Tabarani)
This narration applies equally to men and women. "Knowledge"
in this context refers primarily to knowledge of the Holy Quran
and Sunnah as no Muslim should be ignorant of his or her Faith,
but it also covers other areas of general education, which can
contribute to the welfare of civilization.
2) Worship:-
Both men and women are the slaves of Allah and have a duty to
worship and obey Him. Men and women have to pray, fast, give
charity, go on pilgrimage, refrain from adultery, avoid the
prohibited, enjoin the good and forbid the evil, and so on.
Because of women's roles as mothers..
3)The Right to Own Wealth and Property:-
A woman has the right to keep her property or wealth, whether
earned or inherited, and spend it as she may please.women there
is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allah of His
Bounty. Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knower of everything." (V. 4:32)
4) Freedom to Choose Her Husband:-
The guardian of the girl whether her father, brother or uncle
plays an important role in her marriage such as finding a suitable
match for her. But under no circumstance does this allow him to
force his choice on her against her wishes. She is free to accept or
reject his choice, or make her own choice. A woman named
Khansa Bint Khidam once came to the Prophet and complained:
"My father has forced me to marry my cousin in order to raise his
own status (in the eyes of the people)." The Prophet told her that
she was free to dissolve this marriage and choose whomever she
wished to marry. She replied, "I accept my father's choice, but my
aim was to let the women know that fathers have no right to
interfere in the marriage." (Ahmad, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah)
5) A Woman's Guarantee in War is Acceptable:-
If a woman gives surety to a war-captive or gives him shelter, her
guarantee will be accepted. Umm Hani, a cousin of the Prophet,
said to him after the conquest of Makkah: "I have given shelter to
two of my in-laws." The Prophet said: ‘O Umm Hani, we have
given shelter to whom you have given shelter.’" According to
another narrative, Umm Hani gave shelter to a man but her
cousin Ali tried to kill the man. She complained to the Prophet
who endorsed her act of giving shelter to the man.
