Muslim Council: women cannot debate wearing veil
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that not covering the face is a "shortcoming" and suggested that any Muslims who advocate being uncovered could be guilty of rejecting Islam.In a statement published on its website the MCB, warns: "We advise all Muslims to exercise extreme caution on this issue, since denying any part of Islam may lead to disbelief. "Not practising something enjoined by Allah and his MessengerÂ… is a shortcoming. Denying it is much more serious." The statement quotes from the Koran: "It is not for a believer, man or woman, that they should have any option in their decision when Allah and his Messenger have decreed a matter." The statement will add to controversy about the veil after France earlier this week banned the full-face covering. Posted by: tipper 2011-04-17 |
