Description

The author devotes this volume to a debate concerning the application of the rule of cause prevention. He shows that a strict and extremist application has been the reason for many restrictions that social tradition in many Muslim countries have imposed on women, depriving them of much that is permissible in Islam. He cites clear evidence confirming that womens full participation in social life was part of the Prophets guidance. His approach is always balanced between the freedom Islam gives to womens participation in lifes activities and the need to adhere to Islamic regulations and values concerning attire and behaviour.
