  • The Status of Women in Early Islam

    Barbara Freyer StowasserCHAPTERMuslim Women (RLE Women and…2020

    The general attitude toward women reflected in the Hadith is a positive one. This fact is intimately linked with the original teachings of Islam, and the lifestyle of its founder. Under the impact of a growing asceticism in the Islamic community, and in the framework of a changed social order which secluded women from public life, the nature of women came to be perceived in a different way. The Hadith likewise contains much evidence of women’s vi…

  • Legal Codes and Contemporary Fatawa

    Zeinab Abul-Magd, Barbara Freyer StowasserARTICLEHawwa2008Citada por: 3

    In this paper we wish to explore the legal notion of the family in contemporary legal codes and fatwa literature, and how it differs from legal stipulations regarding the nature and purpose of the marriage contract in the pre-modern Sunni fiqh. We are pursuing this brief comparative study by focusing on the issue of tahlil marriage as a legal construct that all of the four classical Sunni madhahib (law schools) did embrace, even though at least o…

  • Islamic Law and the Challenges of Modernity

    Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, Barbara Freyer StowasserBOOKIslamic Law and the Challenges of…2004

    Since Europeans first colonized Arab lands in the 19th century, they have been pressing to have the area's indigenous laws and legal systems accord with Western models. Although most Arab states now have national codes of law that reflect Western influence, fierce internal struggles continue over how to interpret Islamic law, particularly in the areas of gender and family. From different geographical and ideological points across the contemporary…

  • What goes into a Paradigm? Some reflections on gender‐issue ‘differences’ between Sunni law schools, and the problematic of their historical attribution

    Barbara Freyer StowasserARTICLEIslam and Christian–Muslim…1998Referencias: 1

    Traditional Islamic law developed within a number of paradigmatic blueprints that were later ascribed to the ‘founders’ of ‘law schools’. This law was neither code‐driven ‘civil law’ in the sense of the Napoleonic code, nor was it ‘common law’ in the English and American sense. Speaking mainly in the language of traditions, medieval scholars formulated legal rules whose admissibility depended on communal consensus regarding their validity. Many o…

  • The Mothers of the Believers in the Hadith

    Barbara Freyer StowasserCHAPTERWomen in the Qur'an, Traditions,…1997

    The first generation of Muslims surely heralded the Prophet's manner and way of life as an example they want to follow, because he was God's chosen one in their midst and the appointed leader to whom they had pledge loyalty and allegiance. The view of the Prophet's peerlessness expanded and strengthened after his death when successful wars and conquests led to the birth of a huge Muslim empire. Later generation of Muslims came to see the Prophet …

  • Women in the Qur'an, Traditions, and Interpretation

    Barbara Freyer StowasserBOOKWomen in the Qur'an, Traditions,…1997

    Islamic ideas about women and their role in society spark considerable debate both in the Western world and in the Islamic world itself. Despite the popular attention surrounding Middle Eastern attitudes toward women, there has been little systematic study of the statements regarding women in the Qur'an. This book fills the void with a study on the women of Islamic sacred history. By telling their stories in Qur'an and interpretation, the book in…

  • Gender Issues and Contemporary Quran Interpretation

    Barbara Freyer Stowasser, Barbara StowasserCHAPTERIslam, gender, & social change1997

    This chapter is about new trends in contemporary Muslim Quran interpretation and their interrelationship with contemporary Islamic paradigms on gender issues. From the beginning, Muslims have interpreted their eternal and inimitable, mu)az scripture in the light of specific socioeconomic and political situations. The eternal text has thus served as both the foundational basis and as the point of convergence of many different, specific, human inte…
