| Shabana should confine herself to entertaining people: Bukhari | | | ALLAHABAD, OCT 28
Criticising bollywood actress Shabana Azmi for her alleged comment that the quran does not call for women covering their faces, the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari today said she should confine herself to her vocation of entertaining people.
"Has Shabana Azmi ever read a single page from the holy quran...., she is an entertainer and she should confine herself to her profession and must not speak on things she has no knowledge about," Bukhari told reporters here.
He asserted that the quran clearly instructs Muslim women to wear a veil, though it is always upto the followers of any religion how sincerely they follow its principles.
He, however, made it clear that if a woman chooses to move out without a burqa, it would be considered against the tenets of Islam.
"Many of our Muslim brethren do take alcohol. But this conduct of theirs does not refute the fact that taking any type of intoxicant is forbidden in Islam," Bukhari added. |
