dbo:abstract
  • Hermeneutics of feminism in Islam is a system of interpreting the sacred texts of that religion, the Quran and Sunnah. Hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially of sacred texts, and Islamic feminism has a long history upon which to draw. Muslim feminists reinterpret gendered Islamic texts and challenge interpretive traditions (e.g. exegesis, jurisprudence, Hadith compilations) to promote the ideas of gender equality. The hermeneutics of feminism in Islam posits gender equality and justice as the foundation of Islamic morality, critically deconstructing historical Islamic perceptions of women. It employs various tools and methods of argument. These include focusing on women (opposing conventional male centrist gender bias), giving primacy to equality and gender justice, reinterpreting relevant religious texts, and investigating, contesting and exposing the historical contexts of religious texts and conservative interpretations which cause perpetuate injustice and inequality.
