Education for Muslim Girls Mandatory: Fatwa

After fatwas by Darul Uloom Deoband that it was un-Islamic for women to work in close proximity of men in offices and for her family to accept her earnings, an Islamic seminary in Lucknow has said that education for Muslim girls was not only important, but also mandatory.

“Education is mandatory for every Muslim, whether male or female,” Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali of Darul Uloom Farangi Mahal said while quoting Hadees and Sharia.
