Are there any hadith that explicitly say the woman's role is limited to her home? Aisha was one of the major if not biggest political players during and after Muhammed. I guess she's one of those who wants to go back to that mentality, I call it "idealist Islamism". As for physical education, its fard for everyone to keep their body healthy so its pretty stupid to say women can't exercise and play sports.....and there was at least one female warrior during 7th century Islamic Arabia.
My point was in relation to these 2 things:
They are actually taught that if a woman has to worship anyone other than God it should be her husband
"that the angels will curse her if she is not submissive to her husband's needs"Not about being told to stay in.
However as a woman who was made to stay home and told this over and over and over again by the muslims around me, religious backing might not exist that explicitly states she has to stay home, but she has to obey her husband.
if her husband forbids her from going out, he has every right to, if she disobeys, there are some nice quranic methods to bringing her back in line.
Aisha - 1 her hubby clearly didn't mind her being a voice for islam, and 2, her hubby was dead and she was a widow.
Obedience to your husband is islamic.
Furthermore are there any religious laws that explicitly state (hadiths and quran) that he can not forbid her from going out if she wants to?
She could easily be 'disowned' for speaking out like this, meaning no $ and could be risking her life, its not only ex-muslims who are danger when they speak out. So only muslims in muslim country's can have an opinion on what Islam is and what muslimahs need? Does that mean we should stop expressing our opinions too? Personally, I like her style, the only way to reform Islam and change the muslim way of thinking is reform from within. Anything deemed an "attack on Islam" or an "insult" will be censored and stopped, not only by clerics but by normal muslims, including muslimahs themselves.
and you talk about the "attack or insult on islam" in relation to OTT islamic interpretation by muslims themselves as being the insult?
