First and foremost, the
Qur'an is the primary source of information but there are other sources such as
Hadith, Fatawa, and various books written by people with a reasonable
understanding of what Islam requires. I have listed the books I have
read under resources.
There are several issues that are of concern to women. To the Muslimah
(Muslim woman) these are equality, divorce, issues dealing with
worship (i.e. menstruation which goes with cleanliness) and status. When
discussing these subjects, some of the areas will overlap. On the following
pages, I will cover divorce (the types) menstruation (the issues dealing with
bleeding) and the status of women as presented by various scholars (i.e. Dr.
Jamal Badawi, Hammudah Abdulati etc.). The issue of equality can range from economics to marriage
and I have covered this under the respective topics. Again as I stated
before I opt for the moderate point of view but in fairness there are other
viewpoints.
