Hermeneutics and female reading of the Qur'an: An analysis of Amina Wadood's views

The influence of hermeneutics as well as "female reading" in understanding and interpreting is one of the issues that has been raised in recent decades in the field of interpretation of religious texts. In this study, we intend to analyze and examine this view of understanding the Qur'an based on the views of Amina Wadood. He tries to recite Qur'anic verses about women in a way he calls "monotheistic hermeneutics." Wadood considers the Qur'an to be the word of God and a moral history. He believes that except for rituals of worship that are unchangeable, it should not necessarily imitate other parts of the Qur'an that are related to specific contexts, unless later a general and systematic framework can be built and those principles used for general guidance. Wodood, like contemporary modernists, interprets similar verses as "allegorical" and does not prove the meaning of the text and believes that none of the methods of interpretation are objective. He also believes that in understanding revelation, we must pay attention to the spatial and temporal context and culture of the age of revelation and the contexts of the revelation of verses.
