Rabab Razik
Embark on a journey through the various stages of life, from marriage to divorce
and widowhood, to witness how women living within the Islamic tradition are endowed with the right to safeguard their financial independence. This comprehensive exploration confronts an ongoing disconnect between Islamic law and Muslim family dynamics to equip men and women alike with the knowledge and tools to uphold an important body of Islamic financial laws. Importantly, the book fosters a deep understanding of how Islamic financial empowerment plays a pivotal role in shaping not just the lives of women and their family members, but society as a whole
Finally and perhaps most crucially, this book highlights the need for fiqh scholars to review past Islamic rulings that were meant to achieve justice and prevent harm in their own historical contexts, and to then develop Islamic rulings with the same goals in today's settings
