Dear All,
As I am on the bed and doctors has been advised me to rest for couple of day on the the latest fatwa from the so called "Fatwa Institution" Darul Uloom Deoband that "Illegal for Women to work to support family" is totally against the women's rights in Islam and ultimately I criticized the Deoband fatwa as a retrograde restriction on Muslim women.
I would like to ask one question from Darul Uloom Deoband's Ulema in the light of Shariyaa "When a male member of a family died and there is no other source of income for that family then who will care that family? Whether Darul Uloom Deoband or any Ulema of Darul Uloom Deoband? " This fatwa is shall display a totally reverse image of Islam indeed.
Even the most conservative Islamic countries, which restrict activities of women, including preventing them from driving, do not bar women from working. At the peak of its power, the Taliban only barred women in professions like medicine from treating men and vice versa. But there was a never a blanket ban on working, although the mullahs made it amply clear that they would like to see the women confined to homes.
If a woman has to go for a job, she must make sure that the Sharia restrictions are not compromised," I also would like to tell the example of Iran, where Muslim women work in offices but have separate seating areas, away from their male counterparts.
Name one Islamic country which does not have a national airline and does not hire airhostesses? If I know correctly, even the Saudi Airlines has hostesses and they don't wear a veil.
This is enaough to say regarding the aforesaid Fatwa.
