Anytime my female supervisor at work tells me what to do, I just laugh in her face! "Women can't lead, astaghfirallah!"

Actually, I've only been in my job for 1 day, and my boss is a male... As it should be! Am I right fellas? AM I RIGHT? :fistbump:

Silliness aside, Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah was of an entirely different opinion about that hadith (that is, that it applied to a specific situation and not all situation) but I got the idea that he was very much in the minority with that interpretation. I can't post the quote cause it's somewhere deep in his "Famous Women in Islam" CD set.

Why do you do so? It is misunderstood all this subject in my opinion. No one in management and in politics decides himself about important things - it is always more people involved, always person is part of system - male or female. Of course there are personal decisions which everyone makes for him or her self. I really dont understand - if husband is OK with his wife being leader in business for example or in public life - why it is such a problem. It can be considered that she get big confidence in theri relationship, it can be considered they know and honor each other, it can also be considered that he does not loose any superiority above her. I really am not persuaded - no seeing any prohibition to be leader. (except that QUESTIONED hadith about state being led by woman......).
There is beautiful new mosque of Sheikh Zayed in Abu Dhabi - the project manager was woman.

Salam alikum
