Indian Muslims oppose coed fatwa By Shaikh Azizur Rahman July 17, 2007 washingtontimes.com Muslim boys and girls study together in a school in West Bengal, India, where theologians have issued a "fatwa" against the practice, prompting strong dissent from the Muslim community. CALCUTTA — Indian Muslim leaders are uniting with female students in opposition to a "fatwa" or Islamic edict demanding that Muslim girls stay away from academic institutions where boys are studying. The order, issued by the influential theological school of Darul Uloom Deoband in northern India last week, said coeducation should be banned in schools, colleges, universities and even religious schools because it creates the potential for many evils. But in an unprecedented display of solidarity, many Muslim leaders have joined with female students across India to oppose the edict, charging that it is detrimental to the real development of Muslim society. "Right now, all across the country, Muslims are sending their children to study in schools and universities," said Muslim community leader Akhtar Alvi, professor at Jamia Milia Islamia University in New Delhi. "In a never-seen-before phenomenon, Muslim girls are coming forward for higher studies in droves, and this fatwa stands against them. The fatwa, as it appears, is directed to keep the Muslims as a backward community." Even some Muslim religious leaders have spoken out against the fatwa. "Studying in a coeducation institution is not unlawful for boys and girls as long as they follow Islamic values and remain within its parameters," said Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, a spokesman for the All Indian Muslim Personal Law Board [AIMPLB]. Maolana Khalid Rashid, a religious leader and AIMPLB member based in Lucknow, said it is well established that Muslims are unable to develop their community because they lag behind in education.
