The aforementioned narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), with the wording: "Do not house them (women) in upper chambers and do not teach them them writing, but teach them spinning and An-Nur," is a fabricated Hadith, as stated by Al-Dhahabi and Al-Albani. Islam encourages seeking knowledge and teaching it.
