An Australian Muslim cleric, Sheikh Taj Din al-Hilali, has said that Muslim women are allowed to go nude, wear bikinis and mini-skirts as long as they cover their faces.
Sheikh al-Hilali who is Australia’s most senior Muslim cleric, stated that Islam should not be out of touch with the modern day.
According to Newsbreak he said: “There is a boundary that must never be crossed, that boundary, is their faces. As far as I’m concerned, Australia is a developed first-world country and as such, is a leader in both economic and cultural innovations.”
He also said that when it comes to Muslim women in Australia, they are allowed to wear whatever they want below the neck, while their faces must remain covered at all times. Other than that, they’re good to go.
Sheikh al-Hilali said: “They can go with ordinary t-shirts and mini-skirts, long evening gowns and even bikinis, like Western women. As far as I’m concerned, they can even go to nudist beaches, star in porn movies and dance around poles in strip clubs. It really makes no difference as long as they keep the entirety of their faces completely covered so that they can be as religion-abiding as they are sinful. What can I say, duality is today tricky to pull-off even if you’re a Christian, not to mention if you’re Muslim.”
Meanwhile, the Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria hascondemned calls to ban the hijab in northern Nigeria. The civil rights group warned that such a ban would offer no solution to the problem of the Boko Haram extremism currently plaguing the northeast.
