Female scholarship with Shaykha Umm Jamaal ud-Din

Introducing ShaykhaTalk – a new MM podcast mini-series with female Islamic scholars!

She talks about the teachers who guided her way, the importance of female scholarship (and how it does not equate to feminism!), and how online gender wars impact real world dynamics in the Muslim community.
