AIMPLB, SIO express anguish over Hijab verdict

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Tuesday expressed anguish over the Karnataka High Court ruling that hijab is not an essential religious practice of Islam.

In a statement issued to the media, AIMPLB General Secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, who is based in Hyderabad, said that the board would soon take an appropriate decision on its future course of action.

Maulana Rahmani described the Karnataka High Court judgement on hijab as a stand against Islamic teaching and the principles of Sharia. It also violates Article 15. Injunctions that are categorised as farz and wajib are mandatory and not observing them is a sin.
