The Muslim tradition has very naturally been influenced by the thoughts and practices inherent in the societies it has gone through. And often, the religious treatment of gender issues, male and female, was based on assumptions derived from context rather than principles and teachings. Islamic. Religious texts have even sometimes been used to justify this context and read in light of the dominant cultural traditions.
Starting from the central question of motherhood, this book will attempt to explore the logic underlying the gendered distinction in certain Islamic prescriptions, with the aim of introducing a methodological approach to approach this theme. This study considers that gender difference, whether related to the universal divine will (natural differences) or the revealed divine will (differences in religious prescriptions), makes it possible to circumscribe the concepts of femininity and masculinity in Islamic perception. For that, it is necessary that this question is studied on the basis of a rigorous approach that avoids as much as possible all projections of cultural, historical or even modern hypotheses on the founding Texts of Islam.
