HIJAB IS NOT A REQUIREMENT IN ISLAM Al Azhar PhD : Hijab Is Not Fard In Islam Posted: 25 May 2012 11:25 PM PDT Here is more revelation from the religious scholars themselves. This one is supposedly a thesis written by one Arab scholar, a certain Sheikh Mustafa Mohamed Rashid who submitted a PhD thesis to the Al Azhar University in Cairo. Sheikh Mustafa Mohamed Rashid argues that the hijab is not a requirement of Islam. Here is the article from an Arab newspaper. The title says Al Hijaab laysa fareedat Islameeyah which means The hijab is not obligatory in Islam. Folks, jangan marah saya ok. Ini bukan saya yang cakap. This is what the religious scholars are saying. Itu pun a scholar who submitted his PhD thesis on the subject to the Al Azhar University - the foremost center of learning for the Sunni religion in the entire world. Here is an English version of Sheikh Mustafas findings. You can search Yahoo or Google for Sheikh Mustafa Mohamed Rashids PhD thesis and you can double check the article yourself. Note the words in red. Al Azhar endorsed Sheikh Mustafa Mohamed Rashids PhD thesis on Sharia and Law for which he obtained a grade of excellence, where he stated that hijab is not an Islamic requirement (fard), and that the interpretation (tafseer) of the verses (ayat) and the circumstances during which they appeared has led to the widespread misunderstanding about the so-called Islamic Hijab denoting covering the head, of which there is absolutely no mention in the Quran. Yet some have misconstrued the intent and correct interpretation of the Sharia, refusing the logic and sequence of its appearance, abandoning the proper methods of citing and interpreting of the verses (ayat), their historical background and reason for them. They have done so either intentionally, or with good intention but with lack of the essential analytical savvy. This hijab issue imposed itself on the Islamic and non-Islamic psyche, and thus becoming the defining factor, meaning, and nature of the Islamic faith to non-Muslims, which led some non-Islamic nations to consider it a divisive political statement. In consequence to the resulting friction, some female students have been expelled from universities and jobs, only due to their adherence to this false belief, thereby attaching to Islam a non existent requirement. So inconsistent and misguided have the proofs of the supporters of the hijab theory been, that it would sometimes take the form of khimar or jalabeeb, which distanced them from what they meant by head cover, which is indicative of their restrictive set of mind.
