Why Do the Muslims Continue Their Policies Toward Women Ever in Today s Modern Times

Role of men and women in Islamic culture

Gender roles in Islam are based on scriptures, cultural traditions, and jurisprudence.

The Quran, the holy book of Islam, indicates that both men and women are spiritually equal. The Quran states:

"Those who do good, whether male or female, and have faith will enter Paradise and will never be wronged; even as much as the speck on a date stone."[1]

Quran: 4:124

However, this notion of equality has not been reflected in several laws in Muslim-based institutions.[2]

The Quran does not specify gender roles for women,[3] [4] [5] but Islamic practice does. This is partially because men and women are at times allotted different rights and cultural expectations. Hadith Sahih Bukhari (9:89:252) states that a man is expected to be the "guardian of [his] family," whereas a woman is expected to be the "guardian of her husband's home and his children."[6]

In some Muslim-based countries, women are legally restricted from practicing certain rights.[7]

Traditional gender roles [edit]

Cultural traditions often impact gender roles, prevailing cultural norms, and the interpretation of the Quran and other Islamic texts.[8]

Family [edit]

Some reformist and feminist scholars argue that the concept of guardianship has formed the basis of particular gender roles in Muslim societies. Women are often expected to be obedient wives and mothers, staying within the familial environment. Meanwhile, men are expected to be the protectors and caretakers of their families.[2] However, the majority of Muslim scholars agree that women are not obligated to serve their husbands, do housework, or do any kind of work at home.[9] [10] In Shari'a, it is regarded as permissible for a woman to go out for work if she has the consent of her husband. If there is no mutual consent, then it is not permissible for her to go out and work.[11] Until the period of the rise of Islam, there were many ideas of certain actions and behaviors of women that should be expected that were considered traditional gender roles. Women were seen as inferior to men, and women were supposed to behave and respect men. In earlier times, women were seen as the housekeepers and relied on their husbands to protect them since they were not strong enough to take care of themselves.[12]

According to Sayyid Qutb, a prominent member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s and 1960s, the Quran "gives the man the right of 'guardianship' or 'superiority' over the family structure to prevent dissension and friction between the spouses. The equity of this system lies in the fact that God both favored the man with the necessary qualities and skills for the 'guardianship' and also charged him with the duty to provide for the structure's upkeep." Qutb's ideologies are still impactful for radical Islamists today, influencing such prominent Middle Eastern leaders as Ayman Zawahiri and terrorists as Osama bin Laden.[13]

In Islamic culture, the roles played by men and women are equally important. Gender roles viewed from an Islamic perspective are based on the Qur'an and emphasize the dynamic structure of the family.[14] As in any socio-cultural group, gender roles vary depending on the conservative or liberal nature of the specific group.

Although there are no elaborate roles for men and women in the Qur'an, it is strongly implied that each gender provides equally significant contributions to the family realm.

Chapter 4, in verse 34, in the Qur'an, states that "men are the maintainers of women,"[15] due to them providing for their family. It is implied that a noble "husband's responsibilities commit him to support his wife and children, provide education for his offspring, be kind and attentive to his spouse, and be good to his affine".[16] These values have remained rather consistent throughout the history of Islam. It is culturally understood that women do, and should, rely on men. This is viewed not as a restricting reliance, but as an arrangement to protect women from the distress and inconveniences of the public arenas.[16] It is because of this ideology that women traditionally do not contribute to the household financially, leaving men to be the sole breadwinners.

The woman's role in the home, although different from that of men, is also of great value and importance in Islamic culture. In earlier times, from a very young age, girls traditionally grew up in the women's quarters of the house called the harem. The harem was that part of the house where the female members of the family and household lived. It was normally out of bounds to all males except the master of the house, his sons and perhaps a physician.[17] Here, young girls were familiarized with domestic activities[17] and were taught Islamic laws and values.

Several passages of the Quran deal with acceptable dress standards for both men and women. Surah 24, Verses 30-31 states:

Women wearing burqas in Afghanistan

"And tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to [those relatives who fall within bounds of close relationship explained in the Qur'an (i.e. the Mahrams)]..."[18]

Prayer and worship [edit]

For Friday prayers, by custom, Muslim's congregations segregate men, women, and children into separate groups. On other days, the women and children pray at home. Men are expected to offer the five times daily prayers at the nearest mosque. Muhammad specifically allowed Muslim women to attend mosques and pray behind men.[19] Mohammad said, "Do not prevent your wife(s) from going to the mosque, even though their houses are better for them," which implies women are recommended to stay at home. "A woman's prayer in her house is better than her prayer in her courtyard, and her prayer in her bedroom is better than her prayer in her house." (Reported by Abu Dawud in al-Sunan, Baab maa jaa'a fee khurooj al-nisaa' ilaa'l-masjid. See also Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 3833).[ better source needed ]

Female genital mutilation [edit]

Surveys have shown a widespread belief, particularly in Mali, Mauritania, Guinea, and Egypt, that FGM is a religious requirement.[20] Gruenbaum has argued that practitioners may not distinguish between religion, tradition, and chastity, making it difficult to interpret the data.[21] FGM's origins in northeastern Africa are pre-Islamic, but the practice became associated with Islam because of that religion's focus on female chastity and seclusion.[a] There is no mention of it in the Quran.[23] It is praised in a few daʻīf (weak) hadith (sayings attributed to Muhammad) as noble but not required,[24] [b] although it is regarded as obligatory by the Shafi'i version of Sunni Islam.[25] In 2007 the Al-Azhar Supreme Council of Islamic Research in Cairo ruled that FGM had "no basis in core Islamic law or any of its partial provisions".[26]

Sexuality [edit]

Sexuality, as discussed in Islamic texts is generally confined to the context of heterosexual marriage, and in all cases, modesty and chastity are strongly encouraged. Premarital sex and same-gender sex are forbidden and abortion is highly discouraged, except in cases where there are medical risks for the mother. Sexuality in Islam is often separated in terms of male versus female sexuality, marital versus premarital versus extramarital sexuality, and heterosexuality versus homosexuality as is pointed out by Abdessamad Dialmy.[27]

Male and female sexuality [edit]

The Islamic tradition recognizes the sexual desires of both men and women. According to Kecia Ali, "Classical texts note the importance of female fulfillment while stressing the wives' duty to remain sexually available to their husbands... whereas contemporary authors focus on women's sexual rights within their marriages, attempting to prove the importance of female pleasure by highlighting the separation of sex from reproduction and the importance of the female orgasm."[28] Classical authors also stress the importance of male guardianship, as it is required to protect the chastity and modesty of women in their care.

Heterosexuality and homosexuality [edit]

Heterosexuality [edit]

Islam considers the heterosexual relationship (marital or female slave without marriage) between a man and a woman- the only acceptable relationship. Within this traditional relationship, the male is allowed more room for expression of his sexual rights than the female is, as mentioned above. There are three types of heterosexual relationships: premarital, marital, and extramarital.

Marital, premarital and extramarital sex [edit]

Pre-marital sex is frowned upon in general. However, in Islamic law, there are strict regulations on men and women to keep themselves pure, i.e. a virgin, and only indulge in sexual intercourse after marriage with their partner. Men and women are advised to abstain from indulging in indiscriminate sexual relationships for the mere satisfaction of carnal desires. Marriage is the only acceptable means to indulge in sexual relationships, any other relationship is considered as "Zina", one of the major sins in Islam.[29]

In Islamic marital practices, the male pays a bride-price/dower to his wife, known as the Mahr, which is one of the essentials of marriage. Other essentials are the presence of two witnesses and the 'Wali', or guardian of the bride. A marriage is not considered valid without 'Sadaq', 'Wali', and 'Shahidain' (dower, guardian, and witnesses). The bride-price is a fixed amount of money, jewelry, or property that is given to the bride as her own.[30] A Muslim marriage is usually solemnized in the mosque before an imam, where guardians of both parties appear on their behalf (especially that of the female) and the marriage is announced after payment of the Sadaq. It is not a contract that needs to be signed by either of the parties.[30]

Homosexuality [edit]

Traditional Islamic schools of thought, as based on the Quran and Hadith, consider same-gender sex to be a punishable sin.[31] In much of the Islamic world, homosexuality is not legal, and in Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, homosexual acts are punishable by death.[32] [33] [34] [35] Most Muslim-majority countries continue to oppose LGBT rights movements, with the exceptions of Albania and Sierra Leone.[36] [37] [38] [39] In Albania, Turkey, Bahrain, Jordan, and Mali, homosexual intercourse is legal, and there is some discussion of legalizing same-sex marriage in Albania and Mozambique (the latter being a Muslim-minority country).[38] [39] [40] [41]

Guardianship, gender roles, and male control over women's sexuality are also tools that allow for the enforcement of heterosexual norms.[2]

Masculinity [edit]

Some of what is deemed to be masculine in Muslim cultures stems from the life and actions of Muhammad as put down in the hadith.[42] Muhammad was married to his first wife Khadija monogamously for 25 years. Upon her death he later married a total of fourteen women.[43] In Sahih al-Bukhari 7:62:142, it is said that Muhammad sometimes had sexual relations with all his wives in one night,[44] and in 1:5:268 he is described as having "the strength of thirty men."[45] The idea of traditional masculinity is also strongly shaped by the traditional idea of femininity.[42] Several classic Muslim authors such as Sheikh Muhammad Nefzawi and Ahmed Bin Selman describe women as beings with insatiable sexual appetites.[42] It follows that a man who can satisfy multiple women is seen as incredibly powerful and masculine.[42] In many classical arguments, it is the husband's duty to fulfill his wife's sexual needs, which are part of her rights as a married woman. This argument is often paired with the statement that this is how society prevents social unrest (fitna).

In addition to the relationship between Muslim masculinity and female sexuality, some concepts of Muslim masculinity stem from the relationships between Muslim men. Prominent writer of "Islamic Masculinities", Lahoucine Ouzgane, proposes the idea that masculinity is rooted in a fear of emasculation by other men.[42] Additionally, projecting homosexuality onto another man is often seen as a way to emasculate him while reaffirming one's superior virility.[42]

Femininity [edit]

What is deemed feminine, and the "ideal" Muslim woman, is constantly changing. These changes are influenced by many things, including the global market and modernization. The Quran requires Muslim men and women to dress modestly.[46] The law of the hijab states that the whole female body aside from the face and hands should be covered when a woman leaves her home[47] [48] as a sign of modesty, obedience to God and respect for Islamic values. Modernization has changed many aspects of femininity, in the past, and in the present.[49] The global market is changing femininity by showcasing and promoting images that are desirable for an ideal Muslim woman,[50] and this change has caused certain traditions for women to become outdated and contested.[51] One tradition that is becoming less accepted is the veil; some women, though not all, now see this as degrading in today's world whereas in the past it was seen as a sign of respect.[51] Regardless of traditions, women have been used throughout history as a cultural symbol of Muslim religious values,[52] which has shaped what it means to be feminine in a society.

Modern viewpoints [edit]

Viewpoints regarding gender roles vary with different interpretations of the Quran, different sects of the religion, and different cultural traditions and geographical locations.

Salafiyyah [edit]

Salafiyyah literally means "that which pertains to ancestry".[53] It was first conceived by Muhammad Abduh and refers back to the first generation of Muslims who supported Muhammad during the seventh century.[53]

The ideas of Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz are characteristic of much of the salafiyyah sect. Bin Baz believed that the engagement of women in "male domains" separates them from their God-given nature, eventually leading to women's misery and demise.[8] He believed that women entering "male domains" posed a danger to Muslim society, eventually causing it to fall into moral decay.[8] Additionally, he asserted that a woman outside the home was a woman denying her true, God-given character.[8] He viewed the involvement of women in male domains as a detriment to the next generation, which he says may receive a worse education and less compassion from their mothers.[54] [55] Bin Baz also thought that women should only work in certain fields, those that are within a woman's domain, such as female education, nursing, and medical care. But even these must obey a strict separation of gender.[55]

Wasatiyyah [edit]

The Qur'anic and prophetic terms for "moderation" are reflected in the word "wasatiyyah," which means the "middle way between extremes" and "upright without losing balance."[56]

Muhammad Al-Ghazali's ideas characterize much of the wasatiyyah school of thought. His ideas are shared by other notable and influential people including Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, Abdel-Haleem AbuShaqua, and Hasan al-Turabi.[8] Together they represent a growing modernist trend.[8] Al-Ghazali indicated that Islam suggests a significant sense of equality between men and women.[8] He maintained that there are traditions created by people and not by God that slow women's development and keeps them in religious ignorance, which he believes results in the degradation of the whole Muslim community.[8] Ghazali asserts that women have been denied a say in their communities and have been restricted to domestic service.[57] He also called for a change in Islamic thinking in general and the re-evaluation of cultural traditions that are attributed wrongly as central to the Islamic faith.[8]

Fatema Mernissi [edit]

In her writings, Fatema Mernissi remarks that "if women's rights are a problem for some modern Muslim men, it is neither because of the Qur'an nor the Prophet Muhammad, nor the Islamic tradition, but simply because those rights conflict with the interests of a male elite".[58] She questions the social norm that a man is dishonored if a woman in their family works outside of domestic space. She asserts that in the male mind, society is divided into an economically productive section that is public and male and, a domestic sphere that is private and female, and that these two areas should not mix.[8]

Heba Ra'uf [edit]

Heba Ra'uf (born 1965) stresses the importance of new interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah (traditions and sayings of Muhammad). Ra'uf argues that the advancement of women's causes in Arab and Muslim societies requires a reworking of Islamic thought. She criticizes the efforts of those who draw their inspiration exclusively from Western feminism.[8] On the other hand, some feminists like Nawal El-Saadawi severely criticize the veil: "veiling and nakedness are two sides of the same coin. Both mean women are bodies without mind … ".[59] But Ra'uf sees wearing a veil as a means of liberation: "the veil neutralizes women's sexuality in the public sphere, making clear that they are citizens – not sexual objects".[60]

Ra'uf acknowledges that women belong in the public sphere, and she challenges any gender-based separation between the public and private spheres.[61] She has asserted that "breaking the dichotomy would give housewives more social esteem and would encourage working women to fulfill their psychological need to be good mothers and wives," [61] emphasizing that women's work should extend both into the private and the public sectors.

Countries [edit]

Saudi Arabia [edit]

As of June 2018, women are allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. They were the only country in the world which banned woman from driving.[62] [63] In some areas, such as Mecca, they are expected to cover their hair as well.[8] While they have gained increased access to education and a few gender-segregated job opportunities, their representation in the labor market has increased from just over 10 percent in 2002 to 33 percent in 2021[update].[64] [65]

Women's development in Saudi Arabia has been relatively slower than in its neighboring Arab countries, especially regarding the improvement of female participation.[8] In 2004, the fifth Jeddah Economic Forum held in Saudi Arabia had its first ever woman in key activities, with Lubna Olayan delivering the keynote speech.[8]

Iran [edit]

The Islamic Republic of Iran has witnessed several advancements and setbacks for women's roles in the past 40 years, especially following the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Initially, laws were enacted that restricted women's freedom of movement such as more strict enforcing of veiling and segregation of sexes in public spaces.[66] [67] Access to education was restricted and certain political positions and occupations were discouraged or barred to women.[68] After the 1989 Iranian constitutional referendum, changes[ clarification needed ] resulted in an improvement in the lives and opportunities of women.[68] Since then, several women have been elected to the Iranian parliament and more women participate in civil service.[69] This is partially due to women taking advantage of higher educational opportunities.

Afghanistan [edit]

In the Afghanistan, women's rights have oscillated back and forth depending on the time period. After the fall of Kabul in 2021 during the Taliban insurgency and subsequent takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, concern about the future of women in the country increased.[70] For the past 18 years, there were improvements in girls' education in which 4 out of 10 children were girls, according to a report by UNESCO. Due to the pressure from United Nations and International Organizations, Talibans were forced to allow women for education including under-graduate and post-graduate.[71]

Apart from the education rights, the Women's Ministry was also replaced by the Ministry of Vice and Virtue. These groups of Islamic religious police were considered very harsh and even beat women if they were spotted without male guardians or dressed immodestly.[72]
