It is season of fatwas for largest muslim seminary in India , Darul Uloom of Deoband.  Answering to various question posted to them from various people ,all across India , deoband is coming up with new fatwas everyday.

First they had fatwa for working women in which they called for using veil in office and not mingle with male colleagues. This fatwa was slammed by liberal muslims like javed akhtar.

Liberals in every religion are more focused towards essence of religion than traditions and liberals are always threatened by so called religious followers who get confused with religion and tradition. Javed akhtar too received threat for his comments of fatwa for working women.

After fatwa for working women , deoband issued another fatwa against birthday celebrations. According to them such celebrations are jews and chrisitian inititatives and not as per Islam. This too has mixed reactions.

But now deoband have come up with fatwa which would be hailed by liberal muslims as well as any right thinking person , irrespective of religion.

The new fatwa states that every muslim girl should get educated . According to deoband , the  man who educates his daughter , sister , takes care of them and marrys them to nice family gets heaven. Education is must for both man and woman in Islam and the backwardness of muslims (Indian muslims) is largely because of lack of education.
