Abstract
This article offers a critical analysis of Amina Wadud’s rationalist approach to interpreting the Qur’an, highlighting how her hermeneutics distort traditional Islamic principles–especially the role and image of Muslim women. The paper examines the potential threats of such ideas to the religious identity of Kazakhstan’s Muslim community, which is rooted in the Hanafi-Maturidi tradition. It argues that Wadud’s methodology represents a departure from the established foundations of Islamic jurisprudence and exegesis.
