總結:Some twentieth-century interpreters assert that the Qurʾan forbids same-sex female intercourse. Neo-traditional Shiʿi and Sunni interpreters converge on this point, even as they diverge from their respective traditions in tafsir, innovate in interpretive strategies, and ignore Arabic grammar. Their assertions raise questions about the nature of the Qurʾan, methods of interpreting it, and its status as scripture in contradistinction to hadith and opinion of early authorities. This article compares neo-traditional interpretation of Qurʾan 4:15-16 by Ayatollah Khui and Rashid Rida with a range of tafsir texts to reveal the contradictions between answers offered by a variety of scholars, modern and medieval, female and male, Shiʿi and Sunni.
