How can Hadith be a source of egalitarian ethics? How can we develop and apply an ethical context-sensitive reading of the Hadith tradition that leads to gender-equal relationships? In this webinar, Dr. Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir will explore these questions and propose a reformist methodology that connects the Hadith tradition to Qur’anic ethics and the overarching higher purposes of Islamic theology. He will shed light on the importance of engaging with Hadith as part of a feminist approach to the question of gender relations in Islamic tradition. He will explain how his new methodology offers an interpretive framework for reading Hadith from a gender-justice perspective. Finally, he will share how this new approach to Hadith is relevant to advocacy work on the ground, drawing on examples from the Indonesian context.
