The question

Are you considered to be issuing fatwas without knowledge if you advise your colleagues, while emphasizing the need for verification and research? And does this warning absolve you if you make a mistake in your advice? Or must you stop offering advice and remain silent?

The answer

Speaking about Allah's religion without knowledge is not permissible. Therefore, upon witnessing something objectionable, a Muslim woman must ascertain its ruling by asking people of knowledge. If she confirms the information, she should then clarify it to her female companions. It is preferable not to speak until the ruling of Allah has been confirmed and clarified. As for clear abominations that a Muslim woman knows to be objectionable, she should hasten to denounce them if she is certain of Allah's ruling concerning them.
