I wanted to hear your guys' stance on women leadership.

I believe there's a hadith that says a nation that entrusts its affairs to a woman can never be successful. Thus rendering female leadership impermissible in Islam.
 
Thats true but that doesn't mean that women shouldnt be consulted, I'm sure theres a lot that can be learned from women. Bein involved in politics doesnt necessarily mean that u run for office.

I didn't say anything to indicate otherwise.

The question was about leadership in politics. I naturally assumed it meant the head position. :)

Even if women dont run for head office, the man who does end up bein in office its because of a woman, After Allah its a woman that gave man life! Thats politics for u...that no man can ever do.
 
The Hadith mentioned above is true.

But please remember that at Hudaybiya, the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhe Wasallam consulted his wife in the tent. If he had not consulted his wife, the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhe Wasallam feared the punishment from Allah would have befallen the Ummah, and we would not be here today.

The way I look at it is that when you look at a political figure to elect or nominate, also look at his family. What do you think?
 
I don't think a woman should be in a direct position where this might happen

but there is no reason that they shouldn't be in leadership position that isn't so front line. No politician is ever loved.. it is certainly something to keep in mind, especially if you have a family!

What about the President/PM's advisor?

Do you mean as minister/head of department or advisor ?. ... It's OK.

Women are not allowed to lead the people but allowed to lead employees.
 
Women are often the leaders of the home; they bring up children, often pay the bills, organise everyone etc. There is a LONG history of female scholars. Khadejah RA was a successful business woman. Why on EARTH would there be speculation on whether a woman could be an ADMIN on an INTERNET FORUM?
 
:sl:
^who said anything about leadership on an internet forum :?
 
They certainly can't do any worse than the men -.-

We have to do justice here and not go to either extreme and stay within the frame of the Qur'aan and Sunnah.

The Prophet said "All of you are shepherds and all of you are responsible for their herd"

This means that yes indeed women have position of authority, she is the shepherd of her house and children even over other women at times, so to say that women are not fit for leadership is an injustice.

When we talk about issues like these it is easy to get emotional or let our minds get fogged with equality etc yet as a muslim we know that Allah is the most Just and since He created us He knows us better then we know ourselfs. This is why men and women were assigned different roles in society, men are to look after women and provide for them.

These are the few things we have to keep in mind when dealing with topics like this.
 
Of course they can. If we had more female leaders in the world I think the world might be a less volatile place, and they are just as, if not more so, capable as men in a leadership role. Look at how women manage a household, how they project manage in the business world, even how many have led countries.

I think it is a shame that Hisb ut-Tahrir has categorically said no to having a female khalifah in its draft consitution, considering they are perhaps the most popular group advocating an Islamic State.
 
Even if everyone agrees that a woman can't be khalifa of an Islamic state- surely there are hundreds of other political roles available for women, ones that fall within what Allah has prescribed. If a woman wishes to go after them, why not? As for women leadership in general it's the same thing, there are millions of opportunities, many of them halal- lead the way, I say.
