| description | The disagreement opinions among Muslim scholars about permissibility for women to hold
public office positions seem to be a never ending episode. The issue has been raised by Muslims
all over the world, whereby the root cause is actually related to the misunderstanding of Muslim
scholars about some controversial nuṣūṣ which related to the issue. Therefore, the objective of
the study is to examine the reality of those arguments made by the Muslim scholars and the
subsequent effects in the issue of fatwas by the scholars pertaining to the matter. The study also
will include the finding data collected from a sample of 369 Malaysian Muslims respondents
who met certain criteria set by the study conducted by the researchers; results of the study show
several significant findings. The most important finding is the majority of respondents agreed
that women can hold some public office positions, but not all the positions. The findings
therefore will help to address the issue more appropriately and plan for better educational
programs. |
