The study aims to explain the process of hadith learning, the role of the female teacher (nyai/ustazah) as a scholarly authority for women, and the agency of female students in interpreting hadith texts to construct their identities and social roles. The research method uses a qualitative approach to pesantren gender studies through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show: (1) female students study hadith on worship, morals, family, and women's social roles; (2) female teachers (ustazah) act as scholarly authority figures for women; and (3) female students interpret hadith to understand their roles in education, family, and society. This research contributes to the study of hadith learning, the development of Islamic education, and the quality of women's Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).]]>
