Abstract

The book of The Women’s Presence in Stadiums by Mr. Javad Fakhar Tusi examines the issue of women's attendance at stadiums from a jurisprudential perspective. Although this book attempts to evaluate the issue of women's presence in stadiums with according to jurisprudential documentation and referencing to the religious evidence and principles, while referencing the various sources, but the content-related shortcomings necessitate a scientific critique of the book. This article is dedicated to outlining these shortcomings. The main criticisms directed at the author's viewpoint include “attributing unrelated claims,” “secondary status of primary ruling,” and “exclusivity of general narrative and Quranic evidence.” There are also interpretations and explanations that contradict the apparent meaning of the narrations present in the book. By clarifying these criticisms, it becomes evident that the primary reason for jurists' prohibition on this issue is not the necessity of women remaining at home or an absolute prohibition on mingling; rather, the reason for the prohibition is the harmful nature of mingling. Also, regarding the necessity of observing religious rulings, all women are equal, and the exclusivity of the evidence for modesty and hijab to cloistered women is unfounded.
