Fatwa & Women Empowerment

Woman cannot work where they have to mingle with man without veil . Woman cannot mingle with her male colleagues.

This are views of largest muslim seminary in India , Darul Uloom of Deoband who has issued fatwa against muslim women and asked them to veil themselves and not mix with male colleagues.

Maulana Abul Irfan Firangimahli , a sunni cleric has backed the fatwa stating that career oriented women might get good life here but they are answerable to god (allah) after death.

Few months back a influential muslim  had slammed working women citing that their chief role is nurturing kids . This he had said during woman reservation bill debate.

Woman’s role concerns are not limited to religion is subcontinent and old civilization belts. Many hindu bodies precribe to similar views about woman , her roles and are against woman opting for careers.

Ironically this fatwa comes just day after independent report of plight of mothers in India. India stands 73rd in list of 77 countries as far as woman health is concerned.

How is this fatwa and report related?. Well majority of men (specially other than metro/mega cities) are first people to define what is woman role but convinently forget what is man’s role!!!!!!

The more woman becomes financially independent , the better she would be able to live life confidently and more she is likely to take care of herself , her children and also have relationship with her husband on equal terms. Most important thing for happy married life.

Needless to say this fatwa has been slammed by working muslim woman.
