Does this mean that women have no value in Islam?
Answer:
Kindly refer to our article, ‘Equality and Status of Woman in Islam’ at http://www.jamiat.org.za/isinfo/ewomen.html The purpose of Hijaab is not to frustrate a female. It is to protect her chastity. She may exit her house and visit friends and family, etc. To frustrate a female by closing by closing her in the house all day long is un-Islamic. And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
