N2  - This article explores Indonesian progressive Muslims? thought on Hadith and gender. It
particularly focuses on analyzing the following questions. 1) What is the construction
of the Indonesian progressive Muslims? thoughts on Hadith and gender? and 2) What
is their Hadith hermeneutics; i.e., methods, principles, approaches? The thinking and
the works of two prominent Indonesian Muslim reformers, Husein Muhammad and Siti
Musdah Mulia, who have significantly contributed to the contemporary development of
Islamic intellectualism and gender justice in Indonesia, will be explored in this study. Both
Muhammad and Mulia essentially question the authenticity of the misogynist Hadiths as
they contradict with the principles of gender equality and justice established in the Qur?an and the Prophet?s tradition. Accordingly, both have called for a reformation in understanding
the Hadiths in favour of gender equality and justice. It is fundamental that the Hadiths
have to be understood within their socio-historical context. Their hermeneutics lie in the
analysis of the chain of transmitter (naqd al-isnad) and the substance of Hadith?s wordings
or reports (naqd al-matn). These are not relatively new although previous Hadith scholars
have used such methods with some limitations
