"Marion Katz has found that at least some jurists in early Islam appear to have considered women inherently impure and that touching women was polluting for men, due to a literal interpretation of the phrase ‘if you have touched women’ (lā mastum al- nisā) in verse 5:6 of the Qur’an"

yes I mean some of the blunders are so obvious. most of these works take from secondary western sources that have achieved a degree of divine authority in that field.
