'''Women's Fiqh''' is one of the genitive Fiqhs (Fiqh al-Mudaf) and a newly emerged branch in the knowledge of Fiqh that examines the rights and rulings related to women in various chapters of Islamic Fiqh with a social, problem-oriented, and critical approach. Although the roots of Women's Fiqh go back to traditional Shia Fiqh, its contemporary formulation is fundamentally different from the past tradition. In previous eras, attention to women's issues mainly took place in the form of compiling their specific rulings with the aim of facilitating the education of religious duties. These works, despite their historical importance, lacked an analytical perspective on the reasons for distinctions, their social consequences, and the relationship of these rulings with the developments of the times.
'''Women's Fiqh''' (Fiqh al-Nisa) is one of the genitive Fiqhs (Fiqh al-Mudaf) and a newly emerged branch in the knowledge of Fiqh that examines the rights and rulings related to women in various chapters of Islamic Fiqh with a social, problem-oriented, and critical approach. Although the roots of Women's Fiqh go back to traditional Shia Fiqh, its contemporary formulation is fundamentally different from the past tradition. In previous eras, attention to women's issues mainly took place in the form of compiling their specific rulings with the aim of facilitating the education of religious duties. These works, despite their historical importance, lacked an analytical perspective on the reasons for distinctions, their social consequences, and the relationship of these rulings with the developments of the times.


The fundamental transformation of Women's Fiqh in the contemporary era has occurred in the context of Fiqh's encounter with modernity and profound social changes. In this period, Fiqhi distinctions between men and women, which previously remained at the level of a question, have turned into a social issue with legal, cultural, and political effects. The problematization of women's rulings stems from several key factors: first, the reduced persuasive power of some traditional Fiqhi answers for the new generation and their inconsistency with the lived experience of women in the new world; second, the emergence of new issues in areas such as modern medicine, reproductive technologies, and economic developments; and third, the role of media and the public sphere in highlighting these issues and turning them into a social concern.
