Deoband issues fatwa banning Muslim women from posting images on social media

Justifying the fatwa, Shahnawaz Qadri,Darul Uloom Deoband said,''Unnecessary uploading of pictures on social media is wrong. Fatwa of Darul Uloom Deoband is appropriate.''

The fatwa was issued when a Muslim man sought to know if his wife can post and upload her pictures on social media. In response to the question, Darul Iftaa opined that Islam does not allow Muslim women to show their faces in public.

Earlier, the Darul Iftaa had issued another fatwa banning Muslim women from plucking, trimming, shaping eyebrows and cutting hair.
