| 520 | |a Pakistan is famous for its large number of religious madaris and has been producing thousands of male Islamic scholars since its independence. Although the initiative to establish female madaris has been somewhat late, yet within a few years a huge number of female-exclusive madaris popped up throughout the country. Though hundreds of 'alimat (female scholars) graduate from these institutes every year, they are unknown to the masses, let alone to have muftīs amongst them to attend to the specific issues of the female population in the country. For this the present study addresses the causes preventing women from becoming muftis, challenges they face in engaging in fatwa practice in public and their importance in Pakistan. The approach followed in carrying out this study is mainly analytical and comparative but has been supported by empirical research through interviews encompassing male and female Islamic scholars, muftis and students of Ifta' to gather solid concrete evidence on the causes of scarcity of female muftīs in Pakistan. The main findings of research indicate that the general culture prevailing in Pakistan, defects in female Islamic education and male-dominance of religious bureaucracy are playing vital role in keeping women from owning the title of mufti. For improved participation of females in religious domain, a course of action and the launching paths for appointment of female muftis in Pakistan are proposed. It is stipulated that proper religious education, public endorsement of female scholars, cultural modification and with strategic government planning, these female scholars and muftīs can be molded into a truly efficacious asset for Pakistan and Muslim ummah at large. | ||
