Hadith A Day Islam encourages women's education حديث اليوم : الإسلام يشجع تعليم المرأة

«طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»  

Acquisition of knowledge is binding on all Muslims (both men and women without any discrimination). [Narrated by Ibn Maja in al-Sunan, 1:81 §224.]

 

Educating women

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (radi Allahu anhu) reported: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! Only men benefit from your talks, so please fix a day for us, to teach us the knowledge which Allah has taught you.” The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) fixed a day and directed them to assemble. When they gathered, the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) went to them and taught them what Allah had taught him. He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) then said, “Any woman of you whose three children die (in infancy) they will be a guard for her against the Fire (of Hell).” One of the women asked: “What if she loses two?” The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, “Even two.”
[Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

تعليم المرأة

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخدري رضي الله عنه)) :   جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ r فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : ذَهَبَ الرِّجَالُ بِحَدِيثِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِكَ يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ تُعَلِّمُنَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ : اجْتَمِعْنَ فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَاجْتَمَعْنَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلَّمَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ  (( رواه البخاري ومسلم.
