Suad Salih
Suad Salih (Arabic: سعاد صالح) is an islamist Egyptian compared fiqh professor at Al-Azhar University.
Biography[]
Salih campaigned in Egypt to allow women to serve as Mufti.[1]
In March 2010, she opposed a bill to legalised abortion and sterilisation of women whose health or finances are incompatible with having children.[2]
In a 2014 airing of her TV show, The Woman’s Fiqh, she contended that Muslims have the right to enjoy sex slaves, or “melek al-yamen,” when Muslims conquer non-Muslims. She informed her viewers that, “If we [Egyptians] fought Israel and won, we have the right to enslave and enjoy sexually the Israeli women that we would capture in the war.” This mirrors the rationale used by ISIS to justify the sexual abuse of Yazidi women in Iraq. Yet Salah is viewed by some in Egypt as a moderate voice in Islam.[3]
