The address of the Quran being applicable to both men and women

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My question is, why doesnt the Holy Quran speak directly to women? The Holy Quran speaks directly to men in several cases but why doesnt it speak directly to women. I am a Muslim and do believe that Allah is the greatest, kind and just and in no way believe that He favoured men over women. Therefore, I do know there must be a reason for why Allah did not directly talk to women in the Holy Quran as with men. I also know that in that age more men could read than women but Allah created the Holy Quran until the end of time not just for that age.

Bismillaah

A: The address of the Qur’aan is generally applicable to both men and women. To say that the Qur’aan is not addressing the women is ignorance and stupidity.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
