Calls to enroll women in council of scholars

Arab News

Saud Al-Nufaisan, a former dean of Islamic college at the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University, said that women scholars can teach women the Shariah regulations but cannot become general muftis and cannot issue general fatwas for men, women or the country because that is considered “wilaya” or “guardianship” that women cannot hold. However, he added that women can still be preachers, muftis or teachers in women only communities and that can be under a governmental department.
