This article traces the use of a ḥadīth prohibiting women’s literacy during the colonial period. Although rejected by most ḥadīth scholars and ignored by jurists, it gained prominence in the second half of the nineteenth century through the works of scholars who weaponized it as a response to colonial education projects. As debates on the religious permissibility of modern education spread, the ḥadīth accompanied them, empowering scholars who attempted to push back against modernizing national education projects. Through an analysis of the debate around this ḥadīth in British India and Egypt, I highlight the importance of the ḥadīth as a pragmatic – and not simply normative – source within Islamic legal discussions as they articulated responses to colonialism.

Molabot Tumpe is a unique traditional ritual that binds together Batui and Banggai, two geographically distant Muslim communities of East-Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The ritual consists of an annual offering of maleo bird eggs by the inhabitants of Batui to the élite of the old Banggai sultanate. Originating in tribute-giving ceremonies and ancestral cults, the purpose of the ritual is now understood and explained in thoroughly Islamised ethical terms. However, both the general purpose and the precise details of the ritual have been contested by environmentalists, by part of the traditional local élite, and by proponents of Islamic reformism, the last of whom question the accepted interpretation of the ritual’s purpose, as well as its moral foundations, and object to crucial elements of the ceremonies, especially the idea of possession by ancestral spirits. Besides giving an ethnographic description of the ritual, the article addresses the general issue of religious syncretism in Islam.

Innumerable modernization measures were implemented in nineteenth-century Iran, in what might be called a process of translation. In the course of translating new ideas into the Iranian context by means of applying old expressions, Iranian legal language underwent sequences of change. To gain a better understanding of current struggles over the proper interpretation of some basic concepts, the paper seeks to explain how the concept of freedom was modified, by reference to Koselleck’s “space of experience” and the “horizon of expectation”. The analysis is based on Mostašār od-Doule’s treatise Yek kalame (“One word”), one of the most important nineteenth-century Iranian source texts, which greatly influenced the further development of the Iranian freedom movement.
十九世纪的伊朗实施了无数的现代化措施,这可能被称为翻译过程。在将新思想运用到伊朗语境中的过程中,伊朗法律语言经历了一系列的变化。为了更好地理解当前在正确解释一些基本概念方面的斗争,本文试图通过参考科塞莱克的“经验空间”和“期望视野”来解释自由概念是如何被修改的。该分析基于Mostašār od Doule的论文《一个词》,这是19世纪伊朗最重要的原始文本之一,极大地影响了伊朗自由运动的进一步发展。
