Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of female leadership in Islam and its relevance to modern economic contexts, including how normative Islamic principles such as trustworthiness (amanah), justice (al-‘adl), and consultation (shūrā) can be actualized in participatory, ethical, and sustainable economic leadership practices. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research. Primary data were obtained from the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical as well as contemporary Muslim scholars’ works, while secondary data were collected from scientific journals and academic books discussing leadership, gender, and modern economic practices. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically, combining content, comparative, and interpretative analysis to examine the relevance of female leadership in Islam to contemporary economic leadership. The study finds that Islam does not restrict leadership based on gender but emphasizes competence, moral integrity, trustworthiness, and social responsibility. Women are theologically legitimized to hold leadership positions, including in the economic sector. Historical records and contemporary literature demonstrate that women’s participation in economic leadership strengthens governance, enhances accountability, and promotes sustainable decision-making. These findings suggest that female leadership is compatible with modern economic principles and can serve as an effective strategy to create an inclusive and ethically grounded economic system.
