Who is Amina Wadud?
Amina Wadud is an American scholar of Islam with a progressive focus on Qur'an exegesis. As an Islamic feminist, she has addressed mixed-sex congregations, giving a sermon in South Africa in 1994, and leading Friday prayers in the United States in 2005. These actions broke with established Islamic law, which allows only male imams in mixed-gender congregations, and thus she triggered debate and Muslim juristic discourse about women as imams.
