Da`wah, or calling others for the true path of Allah, is not restricted to men. Muslim women have a great responsibility in this regard as well; particularly with the members of their own sex.

A practitioner of da`wah has to fulfill certain conditions and should observe certain etiquette so that his/her da`wah should be effective. There are various channels to practice da`wah. In addition to traditional ways, modern technology has opened the gate for many more developed, and sometimes more effective, ways. A Muslim woman can thus participate in a variety of da`wa activities, in addition to her actual practices of Islamic teachings and code of conduct; particularly in public, which is a kind of practical da`wah.

A Muslim woman has to observe hijab. Hijab is not only a head scarf. Hijab is a code of conduct and a lifestyle as well. Islam aims at safeguarding the society from the evil consequences of nakedness and of unnecessary mingling between the two sexes. Therefore, Islamic teachings have laid restrictions on the interaction between marriageable men and women to block all ways to evil practices. Islam takes prohibitive measures and does not wait for evil to take place. Both men and women have been commanded to lower their gazes and not to look at members of the opposite sex except for a legitimate reason. Unnecessary mingling between marriageable men and women is not permissible and any contact has to be within the Islamic guidelines in this regard. All evil practices between men and women are results of neglecting such teachings.

Consequently, Muslim women may not go to street to practice da`wah with men. This involves contravention to the abovementioned teachings and will likely cause troubles for them.

Allah Almighty knows best.
