A study of traditional thinking and progressive opinion on topics related to sexual ethics and gender relations in Muslim communities and Islamic texts.

Muslim Sexual Ethics

Introduction


Share

Welcome to the Islam section of the Feminist Sexual Ethics website. Here you will find resources addressing issues of sexual ethics and gender relations in Muslim communities and Islamic texts. Our site provides a series of subsections that address key topics such as:

For each topic, we bring together specific religious texts (verses of the Qur’an and selections from hadith), references to other sources, and interpretive commentary that serves as an introduction to the diversity of opinions on these subjects. We devote particular attention to progressive views. 

See also essays, articles, literature reviews, and a bibliography on the topic. 

We hope these pages become a frequent stop for all Muslims and non-Muslims committed to ensuring Muslim women full dignity and participation in matters of faith, family and society.
