According to a report published by Al-Watan daily, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Munai, a member of the Council of Senior Islamic Scholars, the council should consider the possibility of having women members in the Council of Senior Islamic Scholars. According to him the council is not devoted for men only but women can be part of it. Al-Munai said that when it comes to Shariah regulations “the woman is like the man,” and thus women can share with the men the iftaa job. Another problem accompanying the iftaa issue is the voice of women, as some Islamic scholars consider women’s voice “awrah” or “immodest” to rise in the presence of unrelated men. Being a “muftiya” requires women to speak up to the public. Al-Munai does not consider the voice of women “awrah.”
“Based on this we can say that knowledge is not something restricted to man. The woman has the exact brain and thinking that the man has, therefore there was a huge group of Muslim women who were considered among the Islamic scholars in the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers.”
