As per Darul Iftaa, there are ten such acts that are banned for Muslim women.

New Delhi, Oct 7: Maulana Kazmi of Darul-Uloom Deoband on Saturday said the Islamic University has issued a fatwa against Muslim women cutting their hair and grooming their eyebrows. terming the act as ‘un-Islamic’, Darul Iftaa, the team which has issued a fatwa on behalf of Darul-Uloom Deoband, said that such acts do not comply with the laws of Islam. It has also asked the women to stay away from eyebrow grooming and hair-cutting.

The fatwa was issued after a man from Saharanpur asked the Daul Iftaa about the Islamic laws of eyebrow trimming and hair-cutting from Daul Iftaa. “Would the Islamic law allow my wife to go for eyebrow plucking and hair-cutting?” asked the man to the Islamic University.

In response to his query, Darul-Uloom Deoband issued a fatwa against such acts saying they are against Islamic laws, adding, “If a woman is involved in such acts then she is violating the laws of Islam.”

As per Darul Iftaa, there are ten such acts that are banned for Muslim women. “Muslim women should never go for a haircut as it adds to the beauty of a woman,” said Sadiq Qasmi, head of Darul Iftaa. He also said that the Muslim women should stay away from beauty parlours and makeup because these things attract other men.

“Many Mulsim women have started going to beauty parlours and it is not a good sign. We should have issued fatwa long ago,” added Qasmi.
