Critique of Ghazali's View on the Issue of Women's Rational Perceptions (Religious and Scientific Evaluation)

 The purpose of this study is to critique Ghazali's claim on the issue of the power of female intellect. In his view, women are inherently flawed in the dimension of intellectual knowledge, a claim that raises doubt about religious teachings.

The present research has been done by descriptive-analytical and critical methods and using library resources.

The most important findings of this research are: Lack of a comprehensive view of religious teachings, lack of intellectual support and narrative and empirical evidence, incompatibility with the spirit of religious teachings and philosophical ideas, and findings of psychology and educational sciences.

Although Ghazali acknowledges the humanity of women, he considers them inherently less useful than men in terms of intellect. This view has consequences such as the inherent nature of moral vices and the inability of women to acquire perfection and knowledge.
