المرأة من سلطة المقدس إلى سطوة الفقيه

قراءة في صورة المرأة في التصورين السني والشيعي

Abstract

 God created woman , and gave her special status, as man, also, God named « a surah » in the Holy Qur’an in her name « Surat al –Nisaa », made her a residence for « Adam », so he organized her life and secured her human rights by preserving her right to inheritance, marriage, dowry, and divorce. And considered her presence is essential in carring the message along with Adam.However, the religious jurisprudential establishment, on its part, sought to clarify the image of wolen as drawn by the Holy Qur’an, and followed its verses « Ayat » in an attempt to explain it. None the less, al-faqih abandoned the meanings of the Holy Qur’an, and tried to fix deep gender diffrences, and to paint a female image in opposition to what was approved by the text of islamic revelation. This paper aims to read the al-faqih’s perception of women in the the Sunni and Shi’ite references, which considered women a crooked rib, a source of lust, an impure creature, and deficient in reason and religion . And this is done through various jurisprudential « Faqih ‘s texts from the two references, using the inductive and comparative approaches.
