Religious approaches to women's right to education and training in Islam

Since the beginning of Islamic societies' acquaintance with Western civilization and culture, various approaches have been seen in response to this phenomenon; some Muslims, ignoring the encounter with Western culture, have continued the same way of life as before they became acquainted with this civilization (traditional approach), because this view, ignoring the developments that have occurred, wants the continuation and continuity of the same lifestyle based on centuries-old customs and traditions and takes a strict and restrictive stance towards the totality of women's rights and their right to education. Some other Muslims, in the face of Western civilization and the influence of Western culture, have not shown a passive attitude; rather, they have resisted it with an active stance, which has emerged in a negative or positive form and acceptance of existing realities and finding a faithful solution in the new conditions of life. The negative view of Western civilization is the neo-Salafist view, or the contemporary view that places serious formal and substantive restrictions on women's political, social, and cultural rights and the right to education. A cautious perspective that accepted some realities in the face of Western culture and civilization is the reformist jihadist approach. This research has examined the above methods for the right of women to education in Islam.
