Is Islamic Law Unfair to Women? | Ramadan Series 2025 | Dr. Shabir Ally | Episode 14

In Episode 14 of our Ramadan series Faith and Doubt: 30 Big Questions About Belief, Dr. Shabir Ally addresses the question of whether Islamic law is unfair to women. He explains that Islamic law is derived from four primary sources: the Quran, the sunnah, scholarly consensus (ijma), and legal reasoning (qiyas or ijtihad). He emphasizes that many Quranic rulings must be understood within their historical context, as the Quran introduced progressive rights for women relative to pre-Islamic Arabia. He discusses key issues such as the role of women in society, witnessing in legal matters, and divorce laws, showing how these rulings were shaped by societal norms of the time and were meant to guide communities toward greater fairness. Dr. Ally argues that some modern perceptions of inequality stem from rigid traditional interpretations, reliance on inauthentic hadith, or outdated legal judgments that do not account for changing circumstances. He concludes that Islamic law, when applied with proper contextual understanding and scholarly effort, upholds fairness and justice for women.
