Case studies of women exercising religious authority in Shi?i Islam
from the classical period to the present Islamic religious
authority is conventionally understood to be an exclusively male
purview. Yet when dissected into its various manifestations leading
prayer, preaching, issuing fatwas, transmitting hadith, judging in
court, teaching law, theology, and other Islamic sciences and,
generally shaping the Islamic scholarly tradition nuances emerge
that hint at the presence of women in the performance of some of
these functions. This collection of case studies, covering the
period from classical Islam to the present, and taken from across
the Shi?i Islamic world, reflects on the roles that women have
played in exercising religious authority across time and space.
Comparative reflection on the case studies allows for the
formulation of hypotheses regarding the conditions and developments
whether theological, jurisprudential, social, economic or political
that enhanced or stifled the flourishing of female religious
authority in Shi?i Islam.
