حديث فتنة النساء -دراسة تحليلية-

The hadith of the sedition of women - an analytical study -

This study aims at clarifying the meaning of the authentic ḥ adīth of women’s fitnah (sedition or trial). This is done by explaining and clarifying its meanings and directing them. It is also done by highlighting the role this ḥ adīth plays in the establishment of woman’s status in Islām. Moreover, the study shows what kind of warning of women’s’ sedition meant by the ḥ adīth in question. Thus, a sound understanding of its meanings in the light of literal meanings of its words, other divine textual sources which are related to the subject, scholars’ views about it, and their means of interpreting it is required for us to present what seems to us as a preferred view. This is in order for us to present an example of the importance of presenting a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the ḥ adīth, in the light of modern thought, reality and present a refutation of some allegiances about this ḥ adīth.
