From the point of view of the institutional legal history of shariʿa courts in Israel, the article focuses on the elements of rupture and/or continuity introduced by the appointment of Hanāʾ Manṣūr-Khaṭīb as the first female judge in Israeli religious courts against the background of three main elements, the subordination of shariʿa courts to the Israeli legal system, the reaction of shariʿa courts to the challenges posed by secular and conservative Muslim actors inside the Palestinian minority, and the definition of gender roles in the Muslim judiciary in Israel. Despite some elements of rupture with the past, the article argues that the appointment is part and continuation of an active strategy of the pragmatic use of “the past” of Islamic legal tradition already pursued by shariʿa courts since 1995, and that the appointment of Manṣūr-Khaṭīb can be inscribed in a framework of “patriarchal liberalism,” following the definition of Moussa Abou Ramadan, proving that, still, gender is anything but irrelevant.

从以色列伊斯兰教法法院的机构法律历史的角度出发，本文着重介绍了任命汉纳·曼努尔·卡依卜为以色列宗教法院中第一位女法官所引入的破裂和（或）连续性要素。三个主要因素，伊斯兰教法法院对以色列法律制度的服从，伊斯兰教法法院对巴勒斯坦少数族裔内部世俗和保守的穆斯林行为者提出的挑战的反应，以及以色列穆斯林司法机构中性别角色的定义。尽管过去有一些破裂的因素，但文章认为，任命是自1995年以来伊斯兰法法院一直奉行的务实使用伊斯兰法律传统“过去”积极策略的一部分，并且是这种策略的延续。
