Abstract

There has always been debate about women’s rights and whether or not their rights are equal to those of men. Different legal systems have taken different approaches to this. The Islamic legal system has chosen a particular approach, based on its principles. This study aimed to determine Although there is no equality of rights between men and women, this does not mean that justice is violated. This study was a descriptive-analytic. It has been attempted to use the sources of Islamic law, such as the Qur’ān and its interpretations as well as to provide the foundations for resolving the problem of the article in the light of books and legal articles written in this field. In the Islamic legal system, there are differences between the rights and duties of men and women. For example, unlike women, men have the right to have multiple wives, but these differences stem from the natural or credit differences that exist between men and women. Justice means dealing with different issues differently. Given this, and given the differences between men and women in nature and in their roles in society, their differences in rights and duties do not necessarily mean that justice is violated.
