No 'male' clothes for Hyderabad's Muslim women

[bornhyderabadi]

In a revolutionary step, Muslim women-religious scholars in Hyderabad have started issuing fatwas or religious decrees on the legal, personal and marital problems of the Muslim women.
<br>
<br>
This has become possible with the setting up of the first of its kind \"Darul Iftah\" for women under the aegis of a women\'s Islamic religious educational institution \"Jamiatul Banaat\".
<br>
<br>
A panel comprising three fresh graduates from the Jamiatul Banaat has issued the first ever fatwa - a ruling that wearing of \"male\" attire by women is un-Islamic. Three women - Muftia Fatima Aziz, Muftia Saeeda Fatima and Muftia Rizwana Zarreen - have completed ten years of religious education and two years of practical course of issuing fatwas at this institution.
<br>
<br>
In the parlance of Islamic Jurisprudence, Mufti is a religious qualification entitling a qualified scholar to issue a ruling or an opinion on any issue in accordance with the Islamic Shariah law.
<br>
<br>
Rector of Jamiatul Banaat Moulana Mufti Mohammed Masatan Ali said that the idea of setting up such an institution exclusively for women came to him because there was no such institution in the country to tackle the issues and problems of Muslim women in the light of Islamic Shariah or the personal law.
<br>
<br>
But he made it clear that only those with proper religious educational qualification and deep knowledge of, Quran, Hadith (tradition of Prophet) and the Islamic law were allowed to pass such decrees.
<br>
<br>
The Darul Iftah for women would be providing its services free of cost to Muslims. In the very first fatwa issued by this institution, the all women panel ruled that use of color contact lenses, bleaching, trimming of eyebrows, removing of the hair from the head, and wearing male clothes by women was un-Islamic.
<br>
<br>
However, if a woman is suffering from problems of hair on her upper lips or the chin, she can remove it. The panel also ruled that a woman has every right to maintain her beauty (Zaib o Zeenat) in Islam.

Don\'t know when women will get their independence. No one should force the other person to follow rules on stuff that is personal.
