The Double Movement Method from The Perspective of Fazlur Rahman (A Study of Misogynistic Hadiths and Their Implications)

Hadiths considered misogynistic have sparked various debates regarding the position of women in Islam. Literal interpretations without considering the social-historical context may reinforce gender injustice. This study aims to analyze these hadiths using Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement theory to provide a more just and contextual understanding of the position of women in Islam. This research employs a library research method with a hermeneutic approach, examining primary sources such as hadith collections and academic literature published in the last ten years. Data was collected through critical analysis of relevant hadiths and analyzed with attention to historical, sociological, and anthropological aspects. The findings indicate that the statement about women being “deficient in intellect and religion” must be understood within the social context of 7th-century Arabia, not as a universal principle of women’s inferiority. Furthermore, hadiths regarding testimony, menstruation-related worship, and the prohibition of women traveling without a mahram reflect specific historical conditions that cannot be applied universally across all eras. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a hermeneutic approach to avoid patriarchal bias in understanding religious texts, encouraging a more reflective, just reading that aligns with the principles of Islamic justice.

Abstract

Hadiths considered misogynistic have sparked various debates regarding the position of women in Islam. Literal interpretations without considering the social-historical context may reinforce gender injustice. This study aims to analyze these hadiths using Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement theory to provide a more just and contextual understanding of the position of women in Islam. This research employs a library research method with a hermeneutic approach, examining primary sources such as hadith collections and academic literature published in the last ten years. Data was collected through critical analysis of relevant hadiths and analyzed with attention to historical, sociological, and anthropological aspects. The findings indicate that the statement about women being “deficient in intellect and religion” must be understood within the social context of 7th-century Arabia, not as a universal principle of women’s inferiority. Furthermore, hadiths regarding testimony, menstruation-related worship, and the prohibition of women traveling without a mahram reflect specific historical conditions that cannot be applied universally across all eras. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a hermeneutic approach to avoid patriarchal bias in understanding religious texts, encouraging a more reflective, just reading that aligns with the principles of Islamic justice.
