The research addresses an important issue in the Islamic world regarding the misconceptions surrounding the financial rights of women mentioned in the Quran. Its aim is to present an in-depth scientific study to clarify these rights and refute the related misconceptions by explaining the linguistic and terminological meaning of these misconceptions to convey a broader understanding. The study also highlights how the Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم, his companions, and the followers dealt with these misconceptions and responded to them, as well as the preventive measures taken. In addition, the research explores the financial rights of women in the Quran, such as inheritance, alimony, dowry, gifts, bequests, and independent personal ownership, with an explanation of the key concepts, and the nature of each right. It then tracks the misconceptions surrounding these rights, whether from contemporary or historical thought. The research presents evidentiary and rational arguments to refute these misconceptions and trace their origins. The research also seeks to clarify the reasons for granting certain rights to women specifically, and the purpose behind this designation, by exploring Quranic exegesis and the Prophet’s biography. It sheds light on the status of women in contemporary Islamic societies, explaining how the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions treated women and ensured their rights. The research aims to enhance understanding of the position of women in Islam, providing clarifications based on Sharia evidence and scientific research. The researcher employed the inductive method by examining scholars' opinions from exegesis, linguistic, and jurisprudential works, based on their original sources. He also utilized the analytical method to respond to the misconceptions by analyzing the statements and concepts reached. Finally, the comparative method was used to compare the views of scholars on specific issues and between Islamic and other religious teachings regarding the establishment of women's rights and their treatment. The researcher concluded that misconceptions will not fade as long as ignorance of the true teachings of the religion persists, along with the failure to apply them. Many attempt to obscure these teachings because they conflict with personal desires and whims. These misconceptions stem from a misunderstanding of the Quranic verses, their teachings, and objectives. Additionally, the researcher found that the status and importance of women in Islamic law are immense, as Allah has given them special rights and significant attention.
