Woman [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

learning from writings of women. ²⁷

Nowadays no religious expert is found holding the belief that it is not necessary for the woman to learn writing and reading. In the past too, some scholars and thinkers were of this belief. Further a large number of women related "in kinship" to religious scholars, were virtuous and intellectuals. The example for this can be seen in the wife and daughter of AshShahid AlAwwal,²⁸ and Aminah Beigum daughter of AlMajlisi the 1st, ²⁹ and others.

Seemingly, taking into consideration these principles and rules for evaluating and comprehending so many of narrations concerning the woman would be so helpful and useful.
