If justice is an intrinsic value in Islam, why have women been
treated as second-class citizens in Islamic legal tradition? Today,
the idea of gender equality, inherent to contemporary conceptions
of justice, presents a challenge to established, patriarchal
interpretations of Shari'a. In thought-provoking discussions with
six influential Muslim intellectuals - Abdullahi An-Na'im, Amina
Wadud, Asma Lamrabet, Khaled Abou El Fadl, Mohsen Kadivar and
Sedigheh Vasmaghi - Ziba Mir-Hosseini explores how egalitarian
gender laws might be constructed from within the Islamic legal
framework.
