deoband fatwa..illegal for women to work

I see journalistic manipulation here anyway.

The fatwa seems to be based on the condition that women can’t have close contact with na mahram, so it should exclude all those women who make earnings without close contact.

So the article is misleading there anyway.

Furthermore, it seems like it is specific to India, because there the women are ‘not allowed’ to wear a veil in the public sector. So really, if India allows Muslim women to wear a veil in the public sector, then the fatwa is void and women can continue earning money. According to the merit of the article.

That is absolutely false. Women in India can wear veil/burka anywhere they want. India has All India Muslim personal law Board under Indian Constitution, that gives freedom to muslims to practise according to Shariat.

Deoband has clearly stated today, no fatwa has been issued… they had only given an opinion based on Sharia that women need to be properly covered in government and private offices.
