The Department of Qur’anic Sciences and Islamic Education organized a scientific symposium on the position of women in the religious heritage, a critical reading of slander texts.
The symposium aimed to discuss and criticize texts that show disparagement of women and devaluation of their status.
The symposium, which was moderated by a number of department teachers, Dr. Hikmat Jareh Saber, Dr. Ali Dhigham Taher, and Dr. Ali Hamza Ali, included criticism of texts that diminish the status of women and disparage them, which concluded that these hadiths are weak in terms of chain of transmission and cannot be adhered to, and that they are not in harmony with the Holy Qur’an, which He emphasized the value of women and their equality with men in terms of humanity, character, and entitlement, in addition to the existence of narratives opposing the content of these hadiths.
