“Shiekh al Shieukh” Usama Hassan and the Marriage Contract.
Prepare yourselves for this
Usama Hassan our so called “representative” shouts out from his podium
Too many fathers have abused their right of wilayah (guardianship) over their daughters and too many husbands have abused their right of initiating divorce for us to continue with law rooted in patriarchal societies. It is high time that Muslim women enjoy the same rights and freedoms under Islamic law as they do under present legal systems in the UK.
Ok everyone lets give this man a “standing ovation”. Now we have this heretic telling us about our religion. Supposedly we have to push forward those rights and freedoms under Islamic Law that are present in the legal systems in the UK! Well that is great Usama. It is amazing. These modernists and secularists want to tell us the Muslims about our religion? When it comes to clear cut issues like the Hijab, they bring up some exotic twisted reference and insist that we must accept the “mosaic” of Islam and its different schools of thought. Now they bring up this contract and say it represents Islam! As if it is Qati and everything else is patriarchal! Subhan Allah, yet this contract, goes against the vast majority if not all of the Islamic scholarship! Now I am not here to discuss the merits of the case here or there. My concern is with blatant double standards!
No Usama we dont need you or your friends from the arch secularist Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui to your heretical buddies in the Quilliam Foundation and the City Circle. Alhamidullah we have our traditions from the Salaf and those who sincerely followed them!
JIMAS wants to give a platform to this man?
