520 |a The major Muslim group in China, the Hui, discussed the issue of haircut for Muslim women in their own newspapers and magazines in the 1930s. Authors of those publications include ordinary male and female Hui Muslims, Islamic clerics, and Muslim students from the new Islamic educational institutions. Based on various sources of Islamic jurisprudence (Sharīʿa), the participants put forward varying opinions on the issue. In this article, I have investigated the debate on the Hui women's haircut by assessing how the debate started and developed, and what it meant for a Hui Muslim woman to cut or not to cut her hair in relation to the Sharīʿa in the sociopolitical context of Republican China. I argue that different narratives tried to construct a proper Muslim woman, and furthermore, I also assess how Muslims in China during the Republican period defined their own identities of being Chinese and Muslim via debating on the "authentic" interpretation of the Sharīʿa. Finally, I point out that liberation of Chinese Muslim women is impossible unless there is comprehensive participation of them in the debate.
