Информация

Hana Khatib (born in 1973) is a lawyer and Shari'a pleader, the first woman to be appointed as a Shari'a judge in the Islamic Courts in Israel. She studied her BA in Law in Britain, and her BA at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She worked in the legal field and specialized in personal status and family issues for 17 years before her appointment.

Her appointment was accompanied by objections to her being a woman, even though Muslims in Israel follow the Abu Hanifa school of thought, which allows a woman to be appointed as a judge. It is noteworthy that the Palestinian Authority has appointed three Shari'a courts and Shari'a officials to perform the marriage contract, in addition to other Islamic countries that have assigned Shari'a judiciary to women, such as Egypt and Indonesia.

Khatib said at the swearing-in ceremony: "This appointment and my success in obtaining it is an achievement for the Sharia judiciary and for women, and I hope that other Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Druze judges will be appointed."

Khatib was born to a family of farmers in the city of Tira in the Triangle region. She is married and lives in the city of Tamra, and the mother of four children.
