Women's Social Activities in the View of Shia and Sunny Commentators, According to the Verse 33 of Chapter 33 and the Verse 24 of Chapter 4

Abstract

Achieving the view of the Quran about women's social activities is of such a great importance that obeying God's commands can solve a lot of social problems, although the verse 33 of chapter 33 and the verse 34 of chapter 4 apparently contradict with women's social activities. Reviewing the views of Shia and Sunny commentators about the abovementioned verses and explaining the views of these two schools, the present paper clearly depicts the Quran's approach to the issue. Although Shia and Sunny commentators have different views about these verses, the research findings show that the verses do not contradict with women's social presence; rather, they clearly and with a moderate view explain how women should be present in society and support women's presence in society if it is based on a defined framework.
