The first thought is to rebuild Islamic ideas and offer impression that scholars get is that gender is new ideas that are fairer, more humane and English or the language of Westerners. This more promising for equality for men and can be understood a priori negative. Some Muhammad's scholars even suspect that gender and concentration on feminism is about the feminism are movements that attempt to Husein influence of religion on women. incorporate western, orientalist and other The Concept of Gender Equality in Women's Jurisprudence According to Husein Muhammad Islamic law. Aware of this situation, a number of women activists are trying to find equivalents for the term gender in Arabic or The concept of gender equality in ideologies that can destroy religion and Husein Muhammad is an idea that consists of some knowledge, namely the notion of gender, gender bias and gender roles which always emphasizes the need for a fiqh decision on a developing reality both socially, economically and politically. And according to Husein Indonesian in the hope that it will be accepted more sympathetically by the ulama. However, they still have not succeeded. According to Husein Muhammad in his book entitled.

An Marginalization also often leads to the Gender is also the role, position and duties between men and women determined by society or social construction based on the nature of women and men which are considered in accordance with the norms, customs, beliefs or habits of society. With an explanation of the meaning of gender according to Husein Muhammad above, the writer can say that gender can change from time to time due to developments that affect values or norms in people's lives, for example, many women have become doctors, politicians, regents, and impoverishment of women because they do not have space to get job opportunities. Patriarchal culture which on the one hand has placed women in marginal areas. example of marginalization according to Husein Muhammad is that women only work in the domestic aspect . aking care of the househol. while men can work in the According Husein Muhammad, if culture is the reality of surroundings in general, it still clearly shows a preference for men.

Figures close to this realm are women. The presence of women in the domestic sphere seems to have become their natural nature.

Husein Muhammad said in his book entitled.

It also states that the Prophet Muhammad was sent to the world to water mercy for the universe. The ideal of the Qur'an is the creation of a human life that is moral and respects universal human values. And the views on basic principles and human rights have actually become the commitment of all Muslims. Not a single Muslim denied it. However, the problem becomes not simple when they enter into more specific issues, particular issues30. We have seen a number of DPR, chairmen of political parties and so on, as well as jobs and professions. Social reality once again according to Husein Muhammad is able to show that men's greatness and women's professional standpoint are being sued and undermined, even though male hegemonic AiLife is no longer moving in stability and stagnation. There is a social dialectics that moves continuously, from nomadic life to civilization, from traditional to rational thinking, from closedness to openness. An32. Gender Equality Gender equality refers to an equal condition and equal treatment between men and women in the fulfillment of rights and obligations. According to Husein Muhammad, the life of human society is democratization, justice and upholding human rights. All of these necessitate human equality, and all of these are values that are still desired by human culture in all places and times. God also of course want all of this to be realized in human culture. Therefore, these values should be the basis for all interests in Volume Vi. Nomor 1. Januari 2023.

Islam as the Meaning: verily the most noble carrier of the safety of the people and the among you in the sight of Allah is mercy of all nature, then Islam places the the most pious among you. And humans in the sight of Allah are the same regardless of gender, whether they are women or men, it's just that what makes the difference here is the piety of each individual. This is a universal text which is the pillar or basis of justice or gender equality, thus Islamic elevation and position of women as proof of its primacy. Women during the Jahiliyah era were not valued, with the arrival of Islam they got a place of respect, received education and actualization and self-potential development. WomenAos Jurisprudence teachings can be transformative regarding the Volume Vi. Nomor 1. Januari 2023. AL-WIJDyAN The author's point of view gives the meaning that women's fiqh has two concepts of meaning. The first is that women's fiqh is about amaliyah laws in terms of implementing or fulfilling the Shari'a, for example the problem of guardianship in marriage. The second is about the arguments regarding the law on the implementation or management Based on the explanation of this understanding, it can be formulated about the understanding of women's fiqh, namely the understanding of the law and the arguments relating to women in carrying out their activities. mawadah warahmah . ull of love and compassio.

This based on the word Mu'asyarah derived from the root word usyrah, which linguistically means family, relatives, close friends and the word muasyarah in Arabic is formed based on sighah musyarakah baina al-itsnain, namely togetherness between the two parties. Related to the thinking of women in household life, there are several important points that the author will explain: ) The Right of MuAoasyarah bi al-maAoruf Because the understanding of women's fiqh is closely related to syara' law or with the On this issue, according to Husein arguments of aqli and naqli, then in terms of Muhammad in the Qur'an, giving the meaning of the understanding of instructions for husbands in the women's fiqh is an understanding of the Qur'an Surah An-nisa verse: 4 existence of women as a result of ijtihadi Aiies IUAA which is also called ijtihadi fiqh. ) Fiqh Women in the Household Husein Muhammad stated in his book entitled.
