I did not participate in the pet thread discussion. However, to lump everyone participated in the discussion as 'not doing it for the sake of Allah ' is a generalization we should avoid. Everyone knows how RasuluLlah was kind to animals especially cats. Therefore we cannot judge that everyone who has pets and taking care of the animals is doing it leisurely.

Secondly, how was the conclusion that 'males members rush to answer questions by the female members' come by? Was there a proper study to this 'claim'? While opinions are often allowed to be expressed, opinions are not claims. Claims should come with a solid proof as to differentiate it from 'speculation'.

Thirdly, there are valid gender free questions posed by the female members of the forum. Imposing a rule without a valid fatwa will hinder these valid questions to be asked.

Fourthly, we know from the seerah that discussions were done by segregating women behind the curtain. Of course we wouldn't dare to compare our discussion nowadays with the discussions conducted during the life of the Beloved Prophet . Nevertheless we should take that as an example of how discussions were conducted. To prevent discussions is not the way to do it.

The most important point I think is, if anyone really wants to implement this, bring a valid fatwa and let it be discussed. We all know that at the end of times the Beloved Prophet warned us that the haram things will be made halal, and the halal things will be made haram. So before we proceed to implement it, please make sure that this is valid according to a fatwa, otherwise we just make unnecessary trouble for ourselves that we will be asked of in front of The Al-Mighty Allah .
