How does a woman seeker stay connected to her shaykh?

Keeping tálluq, the connection with the shaykh, has to be done according to the outlines defined by the Shariah. The female seekers can write to their shaykh and seek guidance.

Seekers who lived far from their shaykh, at a time when travelling was hard, used to get the benefit through letters. Technology has now made communicating with one's shaykh easier.

If women cannot attend the gatherings of the shaykh because there is no separate arrangement, they can still get the same benefit as men by listening to their shaykh in their own homes. Although for men it is important to attend the gathering of the shaykh, for women the intent can be gathered from his words, whether heard or read.

Those who sincerely listen to what their shaykh says and keep him aware of their states, their ahwal, are not deprived, for the Divine concern of Allah, His inaya, has ways of its own, and women will not be deprived in any way.
