Ghadir Khumm is the day of the completion of religion and the perfection of blessings through the command of Wilaya, which is one of the fundamental principles of Islam. The issue of Ghadir can be examined from various aspects, including the matter of bay‘a (allegiance). Bay‘a is an ancient Arab tradition that Islam endorsed, thereby recognizing the political participation of the people. In the Shia theological framework, the Imam is divinely appointed through nass (designation). According to Shia political thought, establishing governance is among the prerogatives of the Prophet and the Imam, and bay‘a signifies the acceptance of governance. It is necessary for exercising Wilaya and demonstrating loyalty and adherence to the Imam.
This study, using a descriptive–analytical method, examines historical, exegetical, hadith, and theological sources of both Shia and Sunni scholars to analyze women’s political presence and provide a historical account of bay‘a, with a particular focus on women’s allegiance at the event of Ghadir Khumm. The history of Islam records various pledges of allegiance to the Prophet (s), some of which include women’s bay‘a. At Ghadir Khumm, by the Prophet’s command (s), a wide-ranging pledge of allegiance took place. While Sunni sources do not report women’s bay‘a at Ghadir, sources such as ‘Ilām al-Warī by Tabarsi mention women’s allegiance to Imam Ali (a), and other sources like Tārīkh Rawdat al-Ṣafā, Habīb al-Siyar, and Al-Ghadir refer to women pledging allegiance to the Prophet (s) at Ghadir.
