تعليم الفتيات لا سفور المرأة

Ta'lim al-Fatayat la Sufur al-Mar'ah

In this thoughtful treatise, the distinguished Moroccan scholar Muhammad al-Hasan al-Hajwi examines the question of girls' education from an Islamic perspective, arguing that the encouragement of women's learning should not be confused with calls for social unveiling or the abandonment of Islamic standards of modesty.

Drawing upon the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the lives of the Mothers of the Believers and the female Companions, he demonstrates that Islam not only permits but actively encourages women to acquire beneficial knowledge and contribute to the moral and intellectual development of society.

The author goes on to propose a comprehensive educational programme for Muslim girls, combining religious instruction with literacy, arithmetic, history, geography, ethics, household management, health, child-rearing, and practical skills, all within the framework of Islamic values.

Edited with an informative introduction that situates the work within the reformist debates of modern Morocco, this volume offers a valuable insight into an influential Muslim scholar's vision of women's education, family life, and social reform.
