  स्त्रियों पर हदीस का ऐतिहासिक पाठ: पैग़ंबर की मृत्यु के बाद एक पुरुष अभिजन ने परंपरा को कैसे आकार दिया।

मत

Mernissi’s first book, “Beyond the Veil”, argued that Islamic sexual ethics does not regard women as passive but as actively and dangerously powerful, so that seclusion and veiling are strategies for containing a feared force. “The Veil and the Male Elite” goes back to the sources: through a historical study of the hadith concerning women, she argues that the Prophet’s own practice was egalitarian and that misogynist traditions were introduced or selected by a male elite in the generations after his death. Her method, examining the chain of transmission and the political interests behind each report, uses the tools of Islamic scholarship against its conservative use.

जीवन और संदर्भ

Fatima Mernissi (1940–2015) was born in a harem household in Fez, Morocco, and was among the first generation of girls there to attend school. She studied political science in Rabat and at the Sorbonne and took a doctorate in sociology at Brandeis University in 1974, then taught at Mohammed V University in Rabat. She wrote in French, English and Arabic; her memoir of childhood in the harem became widely read.
