Fatwas of Muslim Women: فتاوى النساء (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788119005628)

Two major elements drove me to shoulder the responsibility of introducing a publication of such as imminent Imam like Ibn Taymiyyah to those who learn Islam from English Literature. The first is the author who, undoubtedly, needs no word that may attempt to crystallize his stance among other jurists, be they of his time or any other generation of place.

The second is the subject itself which grasps the interest of the people at any time. As men and women enjoy an equal share as to rights, responsibilities and duties, all of which are best suiting her nature. Since science confirmed that woman is created with so many differences in her biological nature, physical capabilities and mental faculties, it would be unfair to assign her the same responsibilities, duties and rights as man.

In other words, there is a difference between similarity and equality. As man and woman are not the same in terms of biological nature, physical capabilities and mental faculties, so they are not the same and it would be injustice to deal with both the same. But to put into consideration this difference of nature is regarded as the core of justice and equality, the methodology adopted by Islam, the religion of the Creator of both man and woman.
