This is a good video. This is how education should be - engaging and clear. However, its interesting that it is not what Al-Azhar University, the foremost centre of learning for Sunni Muslims, which Malaysia follows, says. Sheikh Mustapha Mohamed Rashed argued that Hijab is not an Islamic duty. He stated that Hijab refers to the cover of the head, which is not mentioned in the Holy Quran at all. “Nonetheless, a bunch of scholars insisted vehemently that the veil is both an Islamic duty and one of the most important pillars of Islam,” he added. In doing so, the PhD candidate points out, “they deviated from the purposes of the Islamic law and “Sahih Atafsir” or the true interpretation. They rejected reasoning and relied only on literal text.” According to Mohamed Rashed, these scholars de-contextualized the verses of the Quran and interpreted them in their very own liking, following some ancient scholars, as if what they said is sacred and is no subject to Ijtihad. So, Is Al-Azhar wrong, or is it the rest? moroccoworldnews/2012/06/45564/hijab-is-not-an-islamic-duty-scholar/
