This dissertation examines the relationship between gender, ritual obligation, and congregational space in Jewish and Islamic law. Both rabbinic literature and early Islamic jurisprudence deploy similar rhetorical strategies to justify exemption from ritual obligations based on gender. In response, Jewish and Muslim feminists have utilized similar methodological approaches to reinterpret rulings on ritual obligation to empower women and LGBTQ people. Yet existing methods of religious feminist interpretation fail to consider whether utilizing liberal feminist theory can elicit change. As such, this dissertation harnesses decolonial feminism and queer of color critique to advance a method of legal interpretation that reconceptualizes the obligated subject in Jewish and Islamic law while foregrounding the relationship between gender, ritual obligation, and public religious space.
