Muslim women"s veiling becomes one of the key issues in feminist discourses of religious studies. Has Islam, the religion of submission and peace, oppresse women by isolating them from society and stealing their human rights? Or has it contribute to the development of gendere quality by protecting women"s rights and strengthening their social activities? In order to answer these questions, the author examines two main approaches: outsider"s confessional approaches and insider"s reductive approaches. Christian feminists and scholars of mission studies criticize the negative dimension of Muslim women"s veiling, regarding it as the symbol of oppression. On the contrary, Muslim social scientists focus on the political dimension and emphasize the meaning of resistance in women"s veiling. Overcoming these trends, the author suggests the necessity of religious-phenomenological approaches to Muslim women"s veiling as a multi-dimensional religious symbol. The analysis of the Qur"an and Hadith leads us to recognize the different views of woman between early Islam and late Islam. Hijab was originated from pre-Islamic culture and became a part of Islamic tradition. Muslims have transmitted women"s veiling and Islamic teaching to other cultures through the process of expansion. We find the gender equality in the Qur"an, but the Hadith contains some elements of gender discrimination concerning the human nature. In conclusion, we need to open ourselves to new approaches balanced by the empathetic understanding of Islamic worldviews and the contextual analyses.
