Islam's position on women and segregation

maulana, agla sawal ah sumeena sahiba ne kiya hai dilli se. unhone aapse poocha hai ke: "maulana sahib, please explain Islam stand on the position of women in Islam with reference to the segregation of male and female." dekhen, yeh bohat bara masla hai aur mein chahta hoon ke is par mein jo mein parha hai, maine jo jo study ki hai, us ki roshni mein kuch arz karoon. dekhen, segregation jo hai, apne aap mein ek natural tareeqa hai kyunke dekhiye, jab marriage hoti hai to apne aap ek segregation ho jata hai. partial sense mein

marriage kar ke hamesha aise hi hota hai ke ek segregation ki situation paida hoti hai. sab se buri cheez jo is zamane mein hai, wo kya hai? unmarried couple ka concept. sab se buri cheez it is unmarried. it is the concept of unmarried couples that has created problems. unmarried couples ke concept se kya hua? perhaps society aayi, nudity aayi aur ghalat doosri bohat sari buraiyan paida huin.

agar natural formula ko apnaya jaye ke jaise hi baligh hon log, wo shadi kar len, apne aap mein ek natural segregation paida qaim ho jata hai. acha, is ke baad kuch zarooraten aisi zindagi ki hain jahan hum ko de-segregation ka tareeqa ikhtiyar karna parta hai. de-segregation yani aurten bahar aayen, kaam karen. to yeh Islam mein bhi maujood hai aur hamesha rahega. maslan dekhiye, rasool Allah ke zamane mein khawateen ghazwaat mein shareek hoti theen. that was against the segregation. da'wati sargarmian bhi karti theen. misaal ke taur par, mein cyprus gaya to wahan par ek sahabi khatoon wahan pahunchi theen ek da'wati team ke sath.

wahin un ka intiqal hoga, wahin un ki qabr hai aur aaj bhi woh qabr maujood hai. wahan par woh mein ne khud dekha apni aankh se. quran mein kaha gaya hai: "khawateen ke liye saaye haath safar karne wali" yani da'wati safar karne wali. to khud sahabi ne da'wati safar kiya. to mein samajhta hoon ke yani segregation ek natural had mein apne aap hi maujood hota hai lekin zaroorat ki wajah se kahin hum ko de-segregation ka bhi istemal karna tareeqa karna parta hai. tareeqa to hum ne apne mission mein yani limited sense mein de-segregation ka tareeqa apnaya hai. wo kyun

? kyunke is zamane mein dekhiye, technology ka zamana hai, hamein logon se kaam lena hai to hamein aadmi nahi milte. agar hum yeh tareeqa ikhtiyar karen ke strict segregation to hamein aadmi nahi milenge, kaam hi nahi chalega. to mein samajhta hoon ke Islam ki tareekh mein maujood hai de-segregation ka tareeqa partial sense mein. wahi hum ne apply kiya hai yahan par. aur agar koi yeh samajhta ho ke segregation itna zyada zaroori hai, tab bhi mein usay kahunga ke fiqh mein ek mana hua principle hai: "al-zarurat tubih al-mahzurāt"۔ yeh fiqh ka saare ulama mante hain: "al-zarurat tubih al-mahzurāt" yaani necessity makes unlawful lawful۔

to yahan par hamein agar hum strict sense mein segregation ka formula apnayein to yeh mission band karna parega۔ nahi chal sakta, chal hi nahi sakta۔ to mein do baatein kahunga ke natural dayre mein de-segregation apne aap maujood hai pehle bhi aur aaj bhi۔ aur is zarurat ke tehat agar aap ikhtiyar karna chahein is ko to yeh bhi maujood hai۔ is yeh masla bhi ke "al-zarurat tubih al-mahzurāt" aap ikhtiyar kar sakte hain۔

mein samajhta hoon ke khawateen ke bare mein jo nazariya sahi hai, woh hai jo allama nasseruddin al-bani ne apni kitab mein likha hai۔ is ki kitab ka naam hai: "hijab al-marat al-muslima"۔ "hijab al-marat al-muslima" is mein unhon ne likha hai ke segregation yeh koi islam ka principle nahi hai۔ unhon ne ek misaal di hai ke ek hadith mein ek hadith hai ke rasool Allah ke zamane mein auratein fajar ki namaz mein aati theen۔ to is mein lafz hai, rawi ne yeh lafz istemal kiya hai ke: "wa la yu'rafna min al-ghalas"۔

is is hadith ko riwayat naqal kiya allama al-bani ne ke: "wa la yu'rafna min al-ghalas" aur andhere ki wajah se pehchani nahi jati thi۔ aap ghor kijiye ke mein yani agar wahan sab log burqa posh hon, chehre ko chhupaye hue hon to andhera ho, chahe ujala nahi pehchane jayenge۔ woh to aaj "wa la yu'rafna min al-ghalas" ke ma'ni andhere ki wajah se pehchani jat i thi۔ is ka ma'ni hai ke wahan yeh segregation nahi tha jo aaj kal bana rakha hai logon ne۔ yeh yeh nahi tha۔ to allama al-bani likhte hain ke asal cheez jo hai aurat ke ma'amle mein woh hai satar poshi aur aur woh sadgi aur yani jo purpose society jo jis ko kaha jata hai, us se door rehna, nudity se door rehna۔ yeh baqi hai ke burqa aur aur bilkul jaise chehra chhupa hua hai, yeh yeh koi islam nahi hai۔ doosri baat mein yeh arz karunga ke fiqh hanafi jo hai, fiqh hanafi mein teen cheezon ko exempt kiya gaya hai parde se:

face aur kaffain aur qadamain yani chehra aur aur haath aur paon۔ yeh fiqh hanafi mein is ko mustasna qarar diya gaya hai۔ woh is ayat se le kar unhon ne banaya hai masla: "illa ma dhahara minha"۔ to hum ne jo ikhtiyar kiya hai tareeqa, yeh ulama ke maslak se hargiz hata hua nahi hai۔ khud ulama hate hue hain ke jo cheez islam mein nahi hai, us ko unhon ne impose kar rakha hai۔

islam mein kabhi burqa nahi tha۔ koi sabit nahi kar sakta ke rasool Allah aur sahaba ke zamane mein burqa tha to aap burqa bana rakha hai۔ to ulama hate hue hain, hum kahan hate hain؟ ab khud jab fiqh hanafi mein yeh masla hai ke ke face aur haath aur qadam yeh yeh khol khol sakti hain auratein, to aap kaun hote hain is ke khilaf masla banane wale؟ to hamare bare mein koi agar yeh kahe ke hum shariat se hate hue hain to bilkul galat jhoot kehta hai۔ woh hum wohi tareeqa ikhtiyar kiye hue hain jo quran hadith sabit hai, jo fiqh hanafi ka masla hai aur jo jo sabit hota hai۔ to khulasa yeh hai ke asal cheez khawateen ke liye hai ke woh sadgi mein rahein, hawa na karein, woh free mixing na karein aur jaiz hudood mein kaam karein aur purpose full un ka jo de-segregation ho, purpose purpose full ho to bilkul islami hoga۔

woh yahi hamare haan hai, hum is ko kharab nahi karte۔ jo jo ulama ka jo traditional tareeqa raaj hoga segregation ka, woh islam se is ka koi ta'alluq nahi۔ kisi ko shakk ho is mein to allama al-bani ki kitab padh lein: "hijab al-marat al-muslima"۔ maulana, agla sawal mumbai se kiya hai faheem sahab ne aur unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, women like Hazrat Aisha and many more played great roles in the history of Islam۔
