Geography of a forbidden land, women’s bodies: the image of women in Hanbalite fatwas in French-language works
Original tile : ‘Géographie d’une terre interdite, le corps des femmes : l’image des femmes dans les fatwas hanbalites d’ouvrages francophones’
This work aims to analyse the image of women’s bodies reflected in the Hanbalite fatwas issued in Saudi Arabia and available in French language books. Denoting a very traditional vision, this vision is very out of step with the Western context. In comparison, the opinions of the European Council of Fatwa seem more adapted, taking into account the new situations encountered by Muslim women in Europe.
The article is part of the book Le corps dans la religion, edited by Bruno BÉTHOUART :

Ce travail vise à analyser l’image du corps des femmes renvoyée par les fatwas hanbalites délivrées en Arabie saoudite et disponible dans des ouvrages en langue française. Dénotant une vision très traditionnelle, cette vision s’impose comme très décalée par rapport au contexte occidental. En comparaison, les avis du Conseil Européen de la Fatwa paraissent plus adaptés, prenant mieux en compte les situations nouvelles rencontrées par les femmes musulmanes en Europe.
