Junaid Jamshed , It occurs to me that you run a chain of boutiques selling expensive dresses [often shopped by middle-class, car-driving women. Wonder if your boutiques sell burkas as well?]. Hope despite your burger-upbringing, you would know that your business depends upon cotton. Do you realize the cotton is picked by peasant women often too poor to buy the dresses sold at your boutiques? Cotton picking is almost exclusively a woman’s job. I have never seen women clad in burkas picking cotton. Should you ask Maulana Tariq Jamil if dresses made out of cotton picked by women is halal? After all, they neither wear burkas nor stay home; therefore in your eyes the process itself is unIslamic. But I know you will not ask; I know Maulana Tariq Jamil will not issue a fatwa either. Why? It would ruin your business! Thus the futility of your born-again Muslimness. Ironically, your Saudised religion is as alien as was your music. Once you were a burger Bacha. Now you have become a Burger Mullah: alien, rootless, unoriginal, above all fake. (By : Farooq Sulehria )
