Every Muslim, whether male or female, is obligated in Islam to seek at least the basic education in religion.The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Seeking knowledge is a duty of every Muslim.” If women had been excluded from this exhortation, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would have certainly said so. In fact, in another version of the same hadith, it is said, “on every Muslim, male and female”. Allah tells us in the Qur’an: “Ask those who know, if you have no knowledge.”
