Studies on Malay women conducted by both the local and the western researchers indicate that the scientific research does not marginalize women issues. The women theme often revolve around their roles in education, economy, social and politic. These roles are studied from a few angles such as history and Islamic view. Despite the efforts in studying the roles of women from the Islamic perspective in particular in politics and leadership, there is still plenty of room for studies pertaining to the non-domestic roles espoused by the Sunnah. This research is therefore aimed to study the non-domestic roles played by the Malay women and further analyzing their roles in accordance to the authorities found in the hadiths. The data pertaining to their roles acquired through library research are derived from historical materials while the hadith that were referred to were sourced from the major hadith works in particular the al-Kutub al-Sittah. The finding shows that the Malay women are not prevented from assuming roles outside their homes. This is in line with the hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which allows women of the day to be involved in various matters outdoor.
