Islamic seminary Darul Ulum Deoband has issued a fatwa against beauty parlours, saying running such a place is against Shariat law. The fatwa was issued in response to a question posed before the Darul Uloom, asking whether the profession of running beauty parlours by Muslim women is justified by the law according to the Shariat. The fatwa said Muslim women are not permitted to practice this profession under Shariat.
With the Uttar Pradesh government set to conduct a survey of private madrassas, proprietors of the theological schools fear that their institutions may be declared illegal and 'run over by bulldozers'.
