Saharanpur: In a Friday sermon, Mufti Asad Kasmi from Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, declared it ‘forbidden’ and ‘unlawful’ for Muslim women to visit beauty parlours where men are employed. Kasmi urged women to choose salons exclusively staffed by females.
This comes on the heels of a recent incident in Kanpur, where a woman filed a police complaint alleging that her husband, calling from Saudi Arabia, had pronounced triple talaq upon discovering she had shaped her eyebrows. The woman cited her husband’s ‘old-fashioned’ views and objections to her fashion choices.
According to the complainant, Gulsaiba, her husband initiated a video call, noticing her newly shaped eyebrows. Despite explaining that she had done so because she felt her face didn’t look good with unruly hair, he became angered and uttered talaq three times over the video call.
