There Is No Male Preference in Islam

Some people have problematized "the male-bias in Islamic Law" claiming to be motivated by the defense of women, their fair treatment, and highlighting the injustice they have encountered because of legislation influenced by patriarchy. It is a false claim whose goal is to undermine the jurists and instill doubt in the law. Accusing Islamic of male-centeredness incites ridicule. And it clearly demonstrates the degree of embarrassment with which it advocates are stricken down and the compounded degrees of ignorance by which they are characterized: an ignorance of the understanding of fiqh, its origin, and the relation of the jurist to it; an ignorance of the applied reality of the fiqh and its judgements; an ignorance of its wisdoms and subtleties.

In this important treatise penned by one of Morocco's great legal scholars of the 20th century, the debate about Islam's purported unequal treatment of women is thoroughly addressed with cogent proofs and arguments. This book is a brilliant and insightful response to Islam's detractors and ammunition for Muslims proud of their faith.
