The Muslim Family and the Woman’s Position (subtitled Women’s Emancipation during the Prophet’s Lifetime) by Abd al-Halim Abu Shuqqah is a seminal text that reframes the role of women in Islam by returning directly to foundational Islamic texts. Part of an authoritative 8-volume series translated by Adil Salahi, the book argues that much of what is considered “Islamic law” regarding women is actually social or cultural tradition that contradicts the authentic practices of early Muslim society.
