Description: Translation of an 11th century debate regarding the possibility of women as Prophets.
Abu Muhammad Ibn Hazm al-Andaluci This is a glimpse into some of the intellectual debates Muslim scholars had in the past. This is a debate about the question of the prophethood of women, from Ibn Hazm's al-Milal wal-Nihal. Muslims debated this issue without fear of sanction, and without relying on accepted dogmas. Ibn Hazm (d. 456 Hijri) lived in the 11th century in Muslim Spain (Andalucia). This is a piece from that era. This is his position about this sensitive issue which is the Prophethood of women. He has a strong argument. What follows is his view and some other views of other Muslim scholars such as Qurtubi, Ibn Hajjar al-'Asqalani, Imam al-Nawawi and other Muslim scholars. This piece is very relevant as we try to find out the position of women in our society and under- stand the differences between what we inherited as customs and what the Shari'a wants from us.
