But for caliph or leader of an army? That would be embarrassing. Matriarchies always die
Discussion
Yeah, Aisha rA lead an army. We've had multiple female sultans and Egypt had some female rulers during the Crusades.
Battle of the Camel? I think she shared leadership with 2 other men and lost the battle; regardless, she is very much an exception to the rule as a Mother of the Believers
And although ahadith should not be taken in isolation,
"لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً "
During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler."
Sahih al-Bukhari 7099
Historically, we see female leaders not having good results
Yes, battle of the Camel. And my understanding is the hadith you refrence is very weak but more importantly it contradicts the Quran which gives us Bilqis as an example of a successful female ruler.
