 Join
the halaqa and take part in this discussion about Islam's perspective
of women and its many other related issues. In the mountains
of Northern New Mexico at the world-famous Abiquiu Madressa,
Imam Hamza Yusuf answers many of the common questions about Muslim
women such as the degree of men over women, the hijab, rights
and roles, the concept of deficiency in women, and the hadith
about women in Hell. As part of the popular Deen Intensive program,
this session is an opportunity to see a unique side of Hamza
Yusuf within the context of an informal and interactive study
group. Other topics discussed: the breakdown of the family
in the West, the man's weakness for the woman, men and women
shaking hands, cultural norms vs. shari'ah, a woman's right to
her own living space, participating in politics, following laws
that contradict the shari'ah, paying taxes, and the idea of putting
your parents in retirement homes. (Duration: 2 hours, 1 min)
Hamza Yusuf became Muslim in 1977 and studied for 10 years in
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and  Africa.
He received teaching licenses in various Islamic subjects from
several scholars in various countries. He founded Zaytuna Institute,
which has established a reputation for presenting a classical
picture of Islam in the West and which is dedicated to the revival
of traditional study methods.
