An Introduction from the pen of the father and noble Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee Al-Waadi�ee
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Bestower of Mercy
All praise is due to the Lord of creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon His trustworthy Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
As to what follows:
This is an advice to the women, followed by questions and answers which were presented to women, and it was women who have responded to them. However, I have selected from them, the response of one of them to be included in the advice for the women.
As for �The Advice�:
Then it is suitable for the women of this land (Yemen) specifically because, indeed, a practical scholastic understanding (of the Religion) is severely lacking with them.
The people as they relate to the affair of women can be divided into three categories:
One Category: Those who grant them free reign to leave, do as they so please, and travel without a Mahram. They freely mix with men in the schools, universities, in the workplace, at social circles as well as in hospitals and other than that from the worldly pursuits; in which the affairs of the Muslims have become chaotic � even Europeanized, and to Allah we belong and to Him we shall all return.
Another Category: Those who neglect the women and leave them uneducated like cattle such that they do not know anything from that which Allah has made obligatory upon them. This woman is subjected to trial, to opposing the orders of Allah, and even to the corruption of her own family; just as she is susceptible to answering the invitation of every evil call.
The Moderate Category: Those who educate them concerning the limits of the Book and the Sunnah while implementing the statement of Allah:
�O you who believe! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones.� [Soorah at-Tahreem 66:6]
Also, from what has been confirmed in the Sahihain (Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim) upon the authority of Ibn �Umar who said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
�Each of you is a guardian, and each of you is responsible for those under his care.�
The opponents of Islam are adamant about misguiding the woman with a number of deceptive calls, and to Allah we belong and to Him we shall all return.
So in light of this, it is a tremendous obligation upon the woman to advise her sisters and invite them to Allah, and warn them from the people of trials � both men and women � who may appear attractive to the believers, as well as the people who have been tried by them from amongst the men and women. So hopefully by doing so the void will be filled regarding this matter.
As for the establishment of lectures and symposiums, to be attended by both men and women, then this is from the affairs that did not occur during the time of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). In addition, the woman at these gatherings is not safely guarded so the corruption in these symposiums is greater than the benefit.
An even uglier matter than this is the female media personalities; and I do not know of a single woman from this type who is a caller to Allah. Rather, they are depraved and corrupted women who mix with abase male media personalities. They soften their voices, which creates controversy, may Allah sever their tongues and rid the land and the servants of them.
So it is upon the woman to study the biography of the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), and the biographies of the female callers from the time of the Prophet like Umm Sulaym and other than her from the righteous women of the companions and those who follow their way if, indeed, this woman desires Allah and the Last Day.
As for the questions and the answers, then we intended for them to serve as an exercise and as a refutation of the people of innovation. Therefore, we say to the innovators that our women, by the permission of Allah, will refute you. Moreover, they have begun, by the permission of Allah, to write a book consisting of questions and answers entitled (Eeedthaah al-Maqaal fi ar-Radd �ala al-Mubtadi� Adtha-Dhalaal). May Allah facilitate its completion.
Next, we say to the Shee�ah, those who wish to busy us with treatises� that combine ignorance and opposition to the Sunnah and its abandonment, to remain amongst yourselves. Do not obstruct our progress; by the permission of Allah, our daughters and our women will refute you.
As for us, then with the praise of Allah, indeed we have already broken your backs with the books entitled Riyadh al-Jannah fi ar-Radd �ala A�daa as-Sunnah, Ash-Shifaa�ah, Irshaad Dhawee al-Fatin li Ib�aad Ghulaat ar-Rawaafidth min al-Yemen and Al-Ilhaad al-Khomeini fi Ardh al-Haramayn.
Finally, I ask Allah, to grant the author of this advice and to the answers of these questions, continuation upon the path of seeking beneficial knowledge, working with it and calling to it. Indeed, He is able to do all things.
Upon my review of what has been prepared for the second printing, I have found it comprising of great benefits prepared for it by way of authentication, rejection, appraisal, and criticism of the prophetic narrations contained therein, as well as valuable advice. Indeed, the people have competed in obtaining the first printing and certainly, I hope that their competition for this edition will be even greater.
As for the author of �The Advice� then she is Umm �Abdillaah al-Waadi�iyyah, the beneficiary of many sciences and an individual cultivated upon the manners of the Messenger of Allah � may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family. She is virtuous and economical with her time, spending it in the best of manners. For this reason, Allah has blessed her efforts. She is enthusiastic about benefiting her sisters. She teaches a book until she finishes it; then she moves on to another book and she prefers the books of �Aqidah, Fiqh, and Lughaah.
From her books are:
Naseehatee lin-Nisaa - The San�aa Printing, which is out of print
As-Sahih al-Musnad min ash-Shamail al-Muhammadiyyah - Currently in print
Al-Jami� as-Sahih fi al-�Ilm wa Fadhlihi - Handwritten
Currently, she is working on many books that were delayed like As-Sahih al-Musnad min as-
Seerah an-Nabawiyyah that relies upon that which is authentic, unlike those who claim that they rely upon the authentic biographical accounts of the Prophet but in reality do not remain faithful to that claim. We ask Allah that He makes easy for her the completion of this tremendous endeavor that the people are constantly inquiring about.
Finally, Umm �Abdillah - and Allah�s praise is sought - despises partisanship and she shuns it. Therefore, may Allah reward her with good and rectify her affair and the affair of her parents. Indeed, He is capable of all things.
