<![CDATA[This study examines the use and framing of the hadith concerning “women’s deficiency in reason and religion” in digital religious discourse, focusing on the Instagram account @thequran_path as an example of social media based da’wa. The study employs a qualitative approach and document analysis to examine selected Instagram content. It combines Robert M. Entman’s framing analysis with Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir’s mubadalah methodology to examine how the hadith is presented and interpreted from a relational and gender just perspective. The findings show that the expression “deficiency in reason” does not necessarily indicate an inherent intellectual deficiency in women but can be understood in relation to the specific social and religious context of the hadith. The mubadalah approach also highlights limitations in literal and defensive interpretations that focus on textual and fiqh based explanations without sufficiently considering their social implications. Furthermore, the framing analysis shows that @thequran_path presents criticism of gender related interpretations primarily as an issue of individual perception rather than addressing the structural dimensions of religious discourse in digital spaces. These findings indicate that the interpretation and digital framing of the hadith shape perceptions of women and gender relations. A contextual and relational reading is therefore needed to prevent the reproduction of gender inequality in digital religious discourse.]]>
