Misogyny in the Mosque: God's Prophet Told You to Not Prevent Me from the Masjid | Dr. Amina Darwish
Channel: Muslim Community Center - MCC East Bay
Date: 2022-09-21

Imamina Amina Darwish gives spiritual insights about the unfortunate reality of praying while female and efforts of Muslim women in North America to pray freely and comfortably with commensurate ritual access in Islamic centers and masjids. She also touches on the evolving significance of women's mosque attendance.

 Over time, assumptions about women's changing behavior through the lifecycle gave way to a global preoccupation with sexual temptation, which then became the central rationale for limits on women's mosque access.
