Salam and Hello!
Muslim Women are already reclaiming their religious authority at mosques. They want to be heard.
Professors Sa’diyya Shaikh, and Fatima Seedat show us in The Women’s Khutbah Book that it is possible to re-imagine women authorities at mosques while they give sermon or khutbah to mixed and women-only congragations.
Please take a listen to our conversation to learn how these two bold, tender, and fierce women have made an innovative contribution to Muslim feminist ethics.
Salams!
