Latest fatwa: Education must for Muslim girls​

Lucknow: After a spate of Darul Uloom Deoband fatwas that generated negative publicity, another Muslim seminary has issued one that should find all-round support.

Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali of Darul Uloom Farangi Mahal said in a fatwa quoting the Hadees and Sharia that education for Muslim girls was not only important, but also mandatory. “Education is mandatory for every Muslim, whether male or female,’’ he said. Just a few days ago, the Darul Uloom Deoband had said it was un-Islamic for women to work in close proximity to men in offices and for her family to accept her earnings.

Farangi Mahal’s fatwa was issued on a query by Huma Khawaja who sought clarification on girl’s education, Uloom’s secretary Naeemurreh man said. The Sunni cleric had a miraculous escape when four youths fired at him on Monday. Meanwhile, two people were arrested in connection with the attack. TNN

Education for Muslim girls mandatory: Fatwa

After fatwas by Darul Uloom Deoband that it was un-Islamic for women to work in close proximity of men in offices and for her family to accept her earnings, an Islamic seminary in Lucknow has said that education for Muslim girls was not only important, but also mandatory.

"Education is mandatory for every Muslim, whether male or female," Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali of Darul Uloom Farangi Mahal said while quoting Hadees and Sharia.

The fatwa has been issued on a query posted by Huma Khawaja seeking clarification on girl's education, Uloom's secretary Naeemurrehman said.

The fatwa stated that the man has come in this world for enlightenment and spreading knowledge in the society.

"Much emphasis is given on education," it said.

"A man who gets his daughters and sisters educated, teaches them etiquette, treats them well and marry them would go to heaven," it added.


The fatwa said that the Islam not only promoted education for one's own children, but even for maid-servants.

"As mother is close to her children, being educated is very important for her," it said.

It said that from the quotes of Hadees it was evident that how much importance had been given on women education in Islam.

"It is mandatory for every Muslim to ensure proper education of his daughter at any cost," it said.

The Darul Uloom said that illiteracy was a major reason behind the downfall of Muslims.

"Women education is the first step towards progress and social reform. Any laxity would be considered as a big mistake," it added.

Earlier on May 12, Darul Uloom Deoband has held as un-Islamic women working in offices in proximity with men and decreed that acceptance of her earnings by a family was against the Sharia.

The Darul Uloom had also declared the job of writing and calculating interest based work in banks and insurance companies as unlawful in a recent fatwa.

Glad to see that indian Muslims are making progress, i hope to see the same in Pakistan. Indeed lack of education and knowledge is one of the major reasons for the down fall of Muslims!

ooops i thought thats another stupid Fatwah thread - we have lots of discussions on Fatwah's these days

This is also a Fatwah thread but hopefully won't be diverted into another Anti-Islam discussion

and i ain't saying to kick anybody out of this forum - all i am saying is Forum rules needs to be more strict......... sometimes MODs show lot of leniency and that is turning this forum to real WAR and Flaming kind of forum

Religious discussions should strictly be forbidden - thats all my point is

Its compulsory for men and women to get education under Islamic Laws..!!!

 

[third eye]

It is ironical that on one side they want girls to be educated yet they do not consider it right for them to work.

In any case I still maintain clerics need not interfere so much ( preferably at all) in personal lives of people.

I dont understand the concept of a fatwa on a subject which is already covered in a saying (hadeeth)
