Calling she by he

Question

in our custom we denote womens by he not by she as to give them respect is it permisible?

Arshad Ali · Accepted Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

A male should be addressed and referred to as a male and a female should be addressed or referred to as a female. It is incorrect to refer to a female as a male.

The custom you refer to is against nature[1] and should be corrected.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
