| | Article 1: Woman, Half the Man? |
| | Whereas Muslim scholars are in agreement that acquisition of knowledge regarding the usul (fundamental sources) is incumbent individually on the community members who should undertake investigation of these sources themselves, in matters of ahkam (religious ordinances) they must follow the judicial rulings of a qualified jurisprudent, mujtahid. | | | Anecdotes about the male legal scholar dealing with intimate female issues and the problems he faces in conveying innermost contents of female ritual purification constitute legitimate entertainment among the "puritanical" members of the Muslim religious class. | | | Both the methods of inquiry and the forms of argument indicate the juridical tradition's inadequacies in furnishing solutions to the concrete problems faced by Muslim women. |

| | Islamic Marriages |
| | Generally, the marriage is solemnized by a Muslim male and it is immaterial whether the person who solemnizes the marriage is considered a qualified scholar of Islamic Law, has any form of qualification from any Islamic Institute or whether he sufficiently knew and understood the Islamic format of executing a marriage. | | | The Hanafi scholars do not reject the clear prescription of the Qur'an, rather they question the interpretation of the category "people of the Book" in relation to the diversity of Christian beliefs that emerged after the period of revelation. | | | However, in such a situation, he also needs to evaluate whether the opinion of the Hanafi scholars with regard to the validity of the marital contract without a guardian for his spouse is also the stronger of the juridical views in the ahadith and works of Islamic jurisprudence. |
