How do we deal with a patriarchal legal tradition that has become so deeply tied to politics and power? How can we argue for gender equality within a legal framework that presents itself as sacred, especially when some of its traditional ideas about justice and gender seem to conflict with modern understandings of equality? How can we challenge the assumption that these laws are untouchable or divinely fixed when powerful institutions continue to defend them? Should we push for major reforms and replace the existing family law system with an entirely new legal framework? Or should we continue with the gradual reforms and amendments that have been taking place over the last century? Or perhaps should we (as some feminist scholars 😂)acknowledge that current fiqh-based family laws have become so disconnected from the values of justice and equality that they can no longer be meaningfully repaired? If that is the case should progressive Muslims begin developing a new approach to family law based directly on Qur'anic principles that emphasize equality between men and women and mutual cooperation, compassion, and partnership within marriage?

There should be absolutely no talk about gaining extra husn e Mashrat and shohar ki zaati Khushi when it comes to a woman's own money and assets. In other matters like going to the mosque it is fine to say okay she can go but it is better to pray at home I can still understand that logic. But in financial matters this narrative completely ruins a woman's security. When these kinda fatwas books or lectures tell women to get their husband's permission or focus on pleasing him even with her own wealth it just feeds into control. Now imagine a woman who wants to donate her share somewhere like a masjid or a madrassa or jihad or may be use it independently and then she is told that for the sake of the husband’s happiness or maintaining the household she should still ask permission obviously the husband will say no and expect her to use it on the house or him instead😂 You just have to step outside the religious circles and look at the real world even inside them men are literally sitting around waiting for their in-laws to pass away just to get their hands on the inheritance. They don't want to work hard.... If a husband faces a loss in business the first thing he does is demand his wife's gold saying give it to me I will sell it. But how can any woman trust blindly nowadays??? You give him your life savings and your gold and you don't even know if this person will stay with you or support you tomorrow. I have seen so many homes break where the woman gave up all her jewelry out of loyalty and now that they are separating she has absolutely nothing left to her name because the husband already blew through it all... Men think everything belongs to them whether it is a gift from his own family or stuff she brought from her parents house. They emotionally blackmail the wife saying your things are mine or you cannot spend a penny without my approval. Parents give gold, money or any kind kind of asset to their daughters as a financial safety net for emergencies so she has something to fall back on.... But how can she ever feel secure or use her actual rights when society keeps telling her that the noble way is to just keep the husband happy and hand over the steering wheel. It completely ignores how things actually work on the ground

لو جی خلیل الرحمن صاحب نے بھی فتوی لگا دیا قربانی کی پیسوں سے لوگوں کی مدد کی جاے ۔ عید قربان پر دیے گے پوڈ کاسٹ میں فرماتے ہیں ڈیڑھ لاکھ کا بکرا خریدنے کی بجاے اگر ڈیڑھ لاکھ کسی گھرانے کی مدد کر دی جاے ۔۔ تو کیا یہ قربانی نہی ہو گی ۔۔ اپ لوگوں کو بھی اس مقصد کیلے اگے بڑھنا ہے ۔ مولوی کی بتای ہوی قربانی پر نہی چلنا جس میں بتایا جاتا ہے لیلے ذبح کرو ۔ اینکر نے سوال کیا ۔۔ قربانی کے گوشت بھی غریب میں تقسیم کر کے مدد ہی تو کی جارہی ہوتی ۔۔ خلیل میاں فرماتے ہیں ۔۔ جی بلکل وہ بھی مدد ہے کیوں نہ اک نیا راستہ چن لیا جاے ۔ اس سارے پوڈ کاسٹ کو سننے کے بعد اج پہلی مرتبہ میں کہونگا اس عورت نے اس کی درست ٹھکای کی تھی جسکے ساتھ رات کو وہ تنظیم سازی کرنے پہنچے تھے ۔۔ غریب کی مدد کرو لوگوں کے کام او یہ بھی ہمارا مذہب کہتا ہے ۔ استطاعت اللہ نے دی ہے تو قربانی اپ پر واجب ہے ۔۔ اس پر انکے پیٹ میں مڑوڑ کیوں اٹھتے ہیں ۔۔

Kya matlab itni garmi mein bhi ye log Eid get togethers rakh rahe hain 😭
