• A collection of fatwas concerning women to clarify religious practice

This book, Collection of Fatwas Concerning Women, brings together in a single volume clear and well-argued legal opinions on issues that directly concern the Muslim woman: belief, prayer, purification, fasting, menstruation and postnatal bleeding, marriage, divorce, dress, adornment, medicine, family relations and other important matters. In this way, the reader discovers how to shape her practice according to the Qur’an and the Sunna, while taking into account the concrete situations she may face today.

• Major scholars behind this collection of fatwas concerning women

The fatwas gathered in Collection of Fatwas Concerning Women come from major contemporary scholars, known for their knowledge and their adherence to the Sunna, such as Ibn Bâz, al-Albânî, Ibn ‘Uthaymîn and other leading figures. The compiler, ‘Amr ‘Abd al-Mun‘im Salîm, selected and arranged these opinions according to the main branches of Islamic knowledge, from the pursuit of knowledge and creed to questions specific to women. In addition, several answers are accompanied by references to the hadith sources, which makes it easier for the reader to return to the foundational texts.

• A revised French edition for a more accessible collection of fatwas concerning women

This French edition of Collection of Fatwas Concerning Women has been carefully revised and updated. The style has been harmonized to be more fluent and accessible, especially for a francophone readership living in the West. The referencing of hadiths reported by al-Bukhârî, Muslim and the authors of the four Sunan has been reviewed to facilitate returning to the sources. Some fatwas have been clarified through editorial notes, while others have been summarized or omitted when their context no longer matched current realities. This work preserves the substance of the answers while improving their readability.

• A companion on the path for the Muslim woman

Far from being a simple collection of questions and answers, Collection of Fatwas Concerning Women shows that the fatwa is part of a process of responsibility and prudence: the scholar weighs the texts, the situations and their consequences before giving a ruling. Thus, the reader better understands the legal, ethical and spiritual logic that underpins each opinion. Page after page, she finds benchmarks to organize her religious practice, strengthen her modesty and protect her home. To further her learning, she can also benefit from the book Advice and Specific Fatwas for the Muslim Woman , which continues this work by addressing other practical questions intended for women.
