It reached our ears/It came to our attention ...

It came to our attention that women are also making Khutbah and doing Imamat for the Salah of Jummah. Men and women are sitting together in the Masjid. It goes without saying that this is a reprehensible / condemnable practice in Islam. And it is the deviated ones who are doing this. But, if they have reached to such an extent, there must have been a beginning. And this starting point is encouraging the women to perform Salah in the Masjid. A woman who used to perform Salah in a secluded corner of her house, would never reach that point. And it is this way of performing Salah that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) recommended.

Nowadays, the so-called scholars or Islamologists do not know the true system of pardah. According to them, there is nothing wrong in apostasy also. They also consider the law of stoning as a burden. They want to suspend that law. Even a mediocre student will not hesitate to qualify it as deviation. It is a way to sell the Deen. It is due to the campaign of liberalism and the thoughtless Fatwa on behalf of the irresponsible ones that we find ourselves in such a situation today. In Islam, the place of Salah for woman is in the house. She does not have the right to mingle with the opposite sex. Thus, the question of doing Imamat or making Khutbah, does not arise. A woman has honour and dignity and these will remain preserved as long as she refrains from all intermingling.
