TREATMENT OF WOMEN LEFT BEHIND

1675

“The prohibition of the women or men who go out in the Way of Allah is to be upheld by those remaining at home, because it is the same as the prohibition of their own mothers. Therefore, if any man among you who is left behind guarding the family of the one who has gone forth and then betrays him, the latter will stand up on the Day of Judgement and take from the former's merits as much as he wishes until he is satisfied. Then the Prophet of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, looked at us and said, ‘Now what do you think!’"

Muslim with a chain up to Buraidah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
