Congratulations Hafidha, 'Alimah Safiyah A. Salaam al Azharia

[Muhammad Sa'id Hunafa Qadiri]

Islamic scholarship is not and has never been solely the realm of men. Those who would relegate Muslim ladies to the bedroom and the kitchen haven't the slighted clue as to the vastness of Islamic scholarship which included men and women. This warped thinking has nothing to do with Al-Islam. Mabrook Hafidha wa 'Alimah Safiah A. Salaam al Azharia
