Muslim Women’s Participation in Religious Ceremonies

Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah, a well-known scholar, professor at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah, and member of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy, stated, “The principle of blocking ways to evil requires making sure that women stick to Islamic morals and do not violate the Prophetic teachings on women’s going out to perform `Eid Prayer. But it does not mean that women refrain or be prevented from going out”.

He noted that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to women in `Eid Prayer accompanied by Bilal Ibn Rabah to deliver sermons to them.

Sheikh Bin Bayyah pointed out that the rule of moderation and avoidance of excessiveness and slackness is the framework within which women can participate in public religious ceremonies while keeping away from today’s whims or showing off in clothes, adornment, or behavior.

This Prophetic teaching is observed in most Muslim countries, which reflects a bright image of Muslim celebrations of their religious feasts all over the world, the Sheikh concluded
