 After terming love as “un-Islamic”, the Darul Uloom Islamic seminary in Deoband has said that Muslilms wearing jeans is a gunah (sin).
The seminary recently issued a fatwa (religious decree) against the wearing of jeans and transplanting and dyeing of hair in black.
These fatwas have been issued in response to three different queries, according to the Darul Uloom’s Darul Ifta (department of fatwa). In response to a query on wearing of jeans by women, especially in cold countries in Western Europe, the seminary has made it clear that “jeans pants and shirts are against the shariat (Islamic rules)”. “The physical structure (curves) of the body is reflected if one puts on a jeans. Wearing them by a woman is a sin”, the fatwa said adding that it should not be put on by the menfolk also. “It is barred for men as well. Women, who want to look as men, are cursed”, the fatwa went on to say.
On a query on dyeing one’s hair in black, the fatwa said that any other colour other than black is permissible. “Use of black hair dye is un-Islamic”, it said.
On another query pertaining to hair transplant, the Darul Uloom said transplanting artificial hair amounted to “cheating” and is therefore is “illegal”. The clerics say that Islam very clearly separates what is right and what is wrong. “He, who does even after knowing that it is wrong, is the sinner”, said a senior cleric. “Fatwas should only issued on religious matters and not social issues”, said Maulana Yasoob Abbas, the spokesman of the All India Shia Personal Law Board. All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board chairperson Shaista Amber also echoed similar sentiments. “The clerics should confine themselves only to religious matters”, she told Deccan Herald.
What’s next? Â Can’t shave your legs anymore..?

* “Use of black hair dye is un-Islamicâ€
Mindless legalism from doomed people. Is it un-islamic to shuffle the deck chairs on a sinking
ship of fools?
“All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board chairperson Shaista Amber also echoed similar sentiments. “The clerics should confine themselves only to religious mattersâ€, she told Deccan Herald.”
In Islam absolutely everything in the universe is a religious matter which is just one part of our problem with this totalitarian cult ideology.
Dear Sheik,
You screwed up your poll question. It needs to be “Should honor killing be classified as a hate crime?” The way you phrased the question, the poll makes no sense.
MASH
About seven years ago, I queried a Saudi ESL student about women’s rights in the Kingdom. His response: “Women can wear jeans under their abayas.”
Guess that “liberation” is rescinded now.
On a query on dyeing one’s hair in black, the fatwa said that any other colour other than black is permissible. “Use of black hair dye is un-Islamicâ€, it said.
Ah, the inconsistency of Islam. MTP used henna. Hehehe.
Hang about! All good muslims who have visited mecca dye their hair and beards with henna. – hence the ‘red’ look. Oops, think these idiots have got it wrong again. Also, all across the middle east women wear jeans under the abeya, the highest heels imaginable, shops are full of lurid underwear for women – miss summers eat your heart out stuff. In truth they are sex mad.
Ann, not so much sex mad as repressed and therefore obsessed.
