Right Of Women To Wear Burqa

(All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Realms; and Prayers and Peace of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his family and companions)

Everyone has the right to express his point of view and to practice religions. Some of the non-Muslim countries don’t seem to believe in it. One of the examples is France banning the burqa for the Muslims.

This is found out to be a great issue as burqa is the part of the lives of Muslim women. All the non-Muslims out there in UK don’t agree with the decision of the French government.

Some of us in UK think that they would not do any harm to the women by restricting their right to express and practice there believes. This is not true.  Well being a religious intellectual it is true that the word burqa is not written in the Quran or Sunnah, Islam in Holy Quran.

Thus many of us consider it to have cultural importance and not a religious one. Even if we consider it to be a cultural thing why is the government of the one the most developed countries opposing a freedom to express and practice?

We can see a large number of Muslims residing in France suffering from the idea of banning burqa in France.

If any other entity of the community is free to express why this large number of women in France not allowed doing so?

The word “parda” might mean different to different people but in short it is not inequality between men and women rather it shows the respect for women in Islam. We as Muslims all agree that a woman is not a commodity to exploit and disgrace rather she is a symbol of respect and honor.
