In this virtual talk, Lutforahman Saeed (Visiting Scholar and Islamic Law Lecturer, Birgham Young University Law School, Provo) discussed women's right to healthcare in Islamic law, outlining its foundations in the Qur'an, the Prophet's Sunnah, and the core objectives of Sharia, and examining how these principles compare with the Taliban's restrictive policies on women's access to medical education and healthcare services.
