After banning eyebrow trimming and haircuts, the Darul Uloom Deoband has now issued yet another fatwa for Muslim women on Tuesday, banning tight salwars, jazzy burkhas, western clothing such as jeans, skirts and other clothing showing any body part.
Even as the central government is trying for social empowerment of Muslim women in the country by bringing a legislation against triple talaq, Deoband is out to cast as many restrictions as it can on their other half.
On a question whether or not Muslim women and girls should wear tight salwars and jazzy burkhas which attract stares from other males, the Ifta department of the Darul Uloom Deoband said it was 'unIslamic' and against the wishes of Prophet Mohammed.
"Prophet Mohammed had cautioned that Muslim women are to be saved from the outer world. Until and unless it is necessary, they should not step out of the house since Satans stare at them when they go out. They should wear loose and simple burkhas to cover all parts of their body if it is necessary to go out. Islam does not allow Muslim women to wear tight salwars and burkhas which attract dirty stares from other males. Wearing such tight dresses is a sin under Islam," said a committee of the Ifta department of Darul Ulooom, in reply to the question asked by a local Deoband Muslim man.
"Western culture has taken over Indians. Muslim college-going girls have come out of burkhas wearing jeans, tight salwars and other western clothes. Markets are full of these unIslamic clothes. Such clothes do not fulfil mandatory provision of purdah under Islam. Muslim women and girls should stay away from such dresses by wearing simple and loose burkhas," said chairman of Tanzeem Abna-e-Darul Uloom, Mufti Yaade Ilahi Qashmi.
Earlier, the fatwa factory had banned parlour-going, trimming of eyebrows and hair-cutting for Muslim women and girls. Recently, it had issued another fatwa directing Muslims to stay away from New Year celebrations and cutting cakes on birthday and anniversary since such celebrations are not allowed under Islam.
