Gender categorization between Islam and science: the problem of integration from Islamic jurisprudence perspective

Modern science anatomically categorizes human babies at birth into four categories: male, female, true hermaphrodite and pseudo hermaphrodite. This binary juridical classification of humans into male (dhakar) and female (untha) concords mainly with the conclusions of science. Nevertheless, hermaph...

Criticism. Tanzim Modern science anatomically categorizes human babies at birth into four categories: male, female, true hermaphrodite and pseudo hermaphrodite. This binary juridical classification of humans into male (dhakar) and female (untha) concords mainly with the conclusions of science. Nevertheless, hermaphrodite`s (khuntha) configuration in Islamic jurisprudence presents a problem where some discordance can be observed between science and Islamic law. Likewise, traditional approach in Islamic law in managing hermaphrodites is challenged by their medical management. Therefore, this paper, while comparing the categorization of hermaphrodites from fiqh and scientific perspectives, points to the importance of fiqh procedures in managing hermaphrodites medically. Sains moden secara anatomi mengkategorikan kelahiran bayi manusia dibahagikan kepada empat kategori: lelaki, perempuan, hermafrodit tulen dan hermafrodit pseudo. Pengelasan jurudikal perduaan bagi manusia kepada lelaki (Dhakar) dan perempuan (untha) dirukunkan mengikut kesimpulan sains. Walau bagaimanapun, konfigurasi hermafrodit (khuntha) dalam jurisprudens Islam memberi satu masalah di mana berlaku ketakselarasan yang dapat diperhatikan di antara sains dan undang-undang Islam. Pengurusan hermafrodit ditentang oleh pihak pengurusan perubatan mereka seperti pendekatan tradisional dalam undang-undang Islam. Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini menekankan kepentingan prosedur fiqh dalam menguruskan perubatan hermafrodit serta membandingkan pengkategorian hermafrodit menurut perspektif fiqh dan saintifik.
