Episode 17 - Deen, Damsel & Distress | The Salafi Feminist

Women in Islam is a big topic so we chat with The Salafi Feminist in regards to Muslim women issues that are prevalent in the Muslim community, how we should deal with it, compare our current situation with the Muslim women of The Prophet peace be upon him's time and how as a community we can solve the current issues.

The Salafi Feminist aka Zainab bint Younus is a Canadian Muslim woman who has been active in grassroots da'wah and writing about Islam and the Ummah for the last ten years. Her main focus is on gender relations, Muslim women in Islamic history, and combating misogyny in Muslim communities. She can be found posting regularly on her Facebook page (The Salafi Feminist) and her blog TheSalafiFeminist.blogspot.com
