Kulkul presents her ethnographic work with Turkish Muslim women in Berlin as evidence that community is not an entity but is produced by instrumentalizing specific forms of identification and boundary-making. In examining the role of community in the case of her participants, Kulkul finds that religion and culture are important not for the values they perpetuate, but for their role in forming and sustaining the community. She looks at the importance of boundaries and especially their reciprocity. Social boundaries are a set of codes of exclusion often used against migrants and refugees, while symbolic boundaries are typically understood as the way one defines one's own group. Kulkul argues that these two types of boundaries tend to trigger each other and thus be mutually reinforcing. At the same time, she presents a picture of everyday life from the perspective of migrants and the children of migrants in a cosmopolitan European city – Berlin. A valuable read for scholars of migration and culture, which will especially interest scholars focused on Europe.

In this episode, Caroline Harding '24 interviews Professor Jennifer Ortegren, associate professor of religion at Middlebury and a 2022 CT faculty grant recipient. Ortegren is author of Middle-Class Dharma: Women, Aspiration, and the Making of Contemporary Hinduism (2023, Oxford University Press), which examines the intersections of gender, religion, and class among upwardly mobile Hindu women in Udaipur, Rajasthan. In her CT-supported project, “"'We Live with Love for Each Other': Navigating Neighborhood Relationships between Hindu and Muslim Women in Middle-Class India," Ortegren examined how Muslim women experience upward mobility in ways that are both similar to and distinct from Hindu neighbors, and how these shifts shape, and reshape, relationships between Hindu and Muslim neighbors. In particular, it asks if and how young women are meeting and supporting one another in the same ways their mothers did or if they are connecting in other ways that are rooted in their shared middle-class lifestyles.

The Consensus on Marriage Between Muslim Women and Non-Muslim Men The issue of whether Muslim women can marry non-Muslim men has been subject to debate in recent times. However, there has been a binding consensus among Islamic scholars since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that such marriages are impermissible. This consensus is rooted in the understanding of Islamic law and the principles that govern marital relations. This view is grounded in various Quranic verses and Hadith, such as: • “Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe” (Quran 2:221).• “And do not marry the polytheistic men to your women until they believe” (Quran 2:221).• “Then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four” (Quran 4:3), which implies that marriage should be within the bounds of faith. The Role of Scholars and Usul al-Fiqh To navigate complex issues like marriage and other contemporary challenges, it is crucial to rely on scholars well-versed in Usul al-Fiqh, the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. Usul al-Fiqh involves: 1. Determining What Constitutes Evidence: Not every claim can be supported as valid evidence in Sharia. As Imam Al-Baydawi stated, “Not everything can be an evidence in Sharia.”2. Proper Utilization of Evidence: Knowing how to apply evidence correctly. “The principle in private parts is prohibition; if both permissibility and prohibition are encountered in a woman, prohibition prevails” (Imam al-Suyuti).3. Scholarly Qualifications: Ensuring that those who engage in Islamic legal discussions have the necessary academic and practical training. “The conditions of the person who can engage in Islamic law must be met” (Imam Al-Baydawi). Refuting Modern Arguments for Permissibility Some modern scholars argue that there is no explicit evidence in the Quran and Sunnah against marriages between Muslim women and non-Muslim men, thereby claiming such marriages are permissible. This argument relies on the principle of Istishab, which presumes continuity unless there is evidence to the contrary. However, this principle is misapplied in this context. Understanding Istishab and Its Application Istishab means assuming that a ruling continues to apply unless there is clear evidence to change it. In the context of marriage, the default state is that marital relations are haram without a valid marriage contract (nikah). This principle places the burden of proof on those claiming permissibility. They must provide clear evidence from the Quran and Sunnah to justify their stance. • Imam al-Shafi'i: “All private parts are prohibited for everyone under all circumstances, except when allowed by marriage or ownership.”• Principle of Istishab: “Seeking evidence to prove a point without evidence is rejected.” Legal Foundations in Islamic Marriage 1. Presumption of Prohibition: The foundational state of marital relations is one of prohibition unless there is a valid contract.• Imam al-Shafi'i: “The foundational relationship between non-marital people is that they are not allowed to have a physical relationship.”2. Burden of Proof: It is not sufficient to claim permissibility without evidence. The absence of explicit prohibition does not automatically translate to permissibility.• Imam al-Qarafi al-Maliki: “The foundation of sexual relations, the default of other people's property, and the default of other people's wealth is haram unless there is an aqid.” Conclusion: Adherence to Traditional Scholarship In conclusion, the long-standing consensus against marriages between Muslim women and non-Muslim men is well-founded in Islamic jurisprudence. Scholars trained in Usul al-Fiqh provide the necessary framework to understand and navigate such issues. Young Muslims are encouraged to invest their time in learning their faith deeply, adhering to traditional scholarship, and understanding the principles that guide Islamic law. By focusing on these principles and maintaining a strong educational foundation, Muslims can ensure that their practices align with the core teachings of Islam and continue to uphold the integrity of their religious traditions.
