Do women exist in Islamic history, who are educated as a Mufti and are
allowed to make a Fatwa?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
The women of the Salaf )rightly guided predecessors( used to give
Fataawa from what they knew and learnt from the revelation.
For example, it was confirmed that women sought Fataawa
from'Aa'ishahin matters of menses. ]Al-Bukhaari[
Besides,Abu Moosa Al-Ash'arisaid: "We, the companions of the
Prophetnever had some confusions about a Hadeeth and asked
'Aa'ishahabout it except that we found that she had knowledge about
it." ]Al-Albaani classified it as Saheeh ]authentic[
Moreover,Al-Bukhaarimentioned thatUm Ad-Dardaa'was a female jurist.Ibn
Katheerreported in his book entitled Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah that men
used to learn from her )Um Ad-Dardaa'( and seek jurisprudence
knowledge from her and that was in the north wall of Damascus mosque.
The Caliph'Abdul-Malikused to sit in her teaching circles during his
caliphate.
Allaah Knows best.
