Abstract
<jats:p>Women and Family Life in the Hadiths In the Islamic intellectual tradition, the institution of the family has been regarded not merely as a social structure, but as a foundational entity that safeguards religious, moral, and intergenerational continuity. Within this framework, the position of women in the family has consistently constituted a central issue, both in ontological and normative terms. The present study examines the place, duties, and responsibilities of Muslim women within the family through a systematic and holistic perspective grounded in the Prophetic traditions (riwāyāt). The work addresses the multifaceted responsibilities of women within the family structure, including their roles as wives and mothers, child upbringing, the preservation of family privacy, the safeguarding of intra- family confidentiality, the observance of justice among children, the education of daughters, womens positioning in social life, and their participation in working life. In this respect, the study analyzes these areas of responsibility through the lens of the hadith literature, seeking to provide a theoretical and tradition-based grounding for the central role women assume in the formation and continuity of the family institution. The study further approaches the position of women from the moment of the creation of the first human being, emphasizing the continuity of their existential value and social function. In an era marked by modernization and technological transformation—processes that have diversified womens social responsibilities—the importance attributed to the family institution and the construction of future generations within Islams holistic and principled framework is brought to the fore. Accordingly, the study takes the Prophetic traditions as its primary frame of reference and offers a comparative analysis between the roles and interpretive frameworks attributed to women in modern thought and feminist theories and those articulated within the Islamic tradition of hadith. Ultimately, the work aims to reread the position of women within the family through normative, historical, and moral dimensions centered on the Prophetic traditions, and to develop a hadith-based perspective concerning womens created purpose and familial function. In this regard, the study contributes to the deepening of family research grounded in hadith literature and provides a theoretical and methodological contribution to contemporary debates on womens position within the family.
