Does Islamic Law Oppress Women? | Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi
Channel: Muslim Community Center - MCC East Bay
Date: 2019-12-23

Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi challenges a prevalent myth that Muslim women have limited rights in marriage and divorce matters in Sharia (Islamic jurisprudence).

Often, misrepresentations and misconceptions about how women are treated by Shariah are used to advance the notion that Islam is misogynistic. In this clip, Ustadha Hosai addresses one misrepresentation as it relates to women.

Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi spoke at an interfaith gathering about the role of women in Christianity & Islam, which you can watch in its entirety at https://youtu.be/WVXndvGsgoo
