dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the perspective of the renowned Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi (1926-2022) on the rights and status of women and religious minorities in a contemporary Islamic state. The study explores how he addresses Western perspectives on women and minorities and how he navigates the effects of modernity in contemporary Muslim societies. Special attention is given to identifying any changes in his opinions, as some critics suggest. Using a qualitative research approach, content analysis, and theme development methods, this research analyzes primary sources such as Qaradawi‘s books, articles, fatwa collections, autobiography, and works by other scholars on related topics. It also considers secondary sources like articles and doctoral theses. The findings reveal Qaradawi's moderate approach to traditional jurisprudence, closely adhering to the main sources of Shariah while addressing modern requirements. He consistently aligns his opinions with the clear directives of the Quran and Sunnah. Qaradawi advocates the necessity of Ijtihad to meet modern challenges while remaining true to Quranic and Sunnah principles. He supports women‘s participation in the workforce and political domain, provided they maintain Shariah‟s social values and norms.
