<![CDATA[Female leadership in the perspective of Islamic law is a controversial issue among Muslims. Some scholars see that religion (Islam) forbids women from becoming leaders, the reason being that the text of the verses of Al-Qur'an and Al-Hadist explicitly state such a ban. But some scholars hold the opposite view, that legitimate women become leaders, the reason the text of the verses of Al-Qur'an and Al-Hadist must always be interpreted (understood) contextually, not merely textual, meaning that every text must be understood in the context of social-political sphere. The sociopolitical context that developed during the period of the fall of the texts was very different from the present social context.
