An Assessment of Islamic Traditions (ahadith) about the Rational Imperfection of Women and Comparing them with the Opposite Tradition in the Context of Gender Studies

Some parts of Islamic Sunna contains statements about the innate rational imperfection of women. These suggestions humiliate women and associate to them an inferior position, comparing to men; because a text finds meaning in a discursive contradiction. Investigating the documentations of such traditions puts us in serious doubt about their accuracy, however this research, reporting the results of this investigation done by the Elm ol Hadith scholars, tries to assess their implications. Though both methods (i.e. investigating documentations and assessment of implications) undermine the accuracy of these traditions but the author, assuming the accuracy of these traditions, find no humiliation toward women when object their contents and implications to gender studies. This articles concludes that the female argumentation and rationalization is different with the male ones and, discovering this female rationality and presenting it to the three Islamic schools of philosophy, claims that it can be evaluated superior to the male empiricist rationality.
